Ah, very good.  I double-checked rsync's man page, and it has the
--exclude option as well.  (I wasn't aware of it since I've never used
rsync, or only used it once or twice.)

Thanks for the tip about mirrordir; it certainly looks like it would be
useful to me, too, for certain things.  (Would make it unnecessary to do
"(cd $dir && tar -cpf - $dir_list) | (cd $dest_dir && tar -xpvf -)" to
duplicate a dir structure in most cases, for example.)
