The XFree86 build-bindist script passes an include file and an exclude 
file to tar like so:

$TAR -c -v -z -f $TODIR/$BINDIR/$tarball $xfile $lfile


$xfile in this case is "-X prog-excl":

lib/Server
lib/X11
lib/modules
include/X11/bitmaps


$lfile is based on the file prog-list, but it seems to be that each 
entry in the list is looped through in the build-bindist script in a 
fashion that I don't entirely understand.  The prog-list contents are below:

lib
include
lib/X11/config


The idea here is that everything in lib, include, and lib/X11/config are 
supposed to be included, with the exception of lib/Xserver, lib/X11, 
lib/modules, and include/X11/bitmaps.

For some reason, Cygwin's tar version (and this may be entirely correct, 
the XFree86 version might be modified) works through lib and include, 
properly excluding the listed directories, but it never processes 
lib/X11/config.  I tried moving the order of the directories around, 
such as moving lib/X11/config to the top of prog-list, to no avail.

My reasoning behind starting with Cygwin's tar was exactly that it was 
"GNU tar", but I found out that that wasn't good enough of a reason :)
