Cygport per-package PKG_EXCLUDE?

Not really a cygport option, but a side-effect of $pkg_contents getting
expanded into the command line of (GNU) tar which then interprets the
--exclude directive.

The above gets the job done, but I'm not sure that it is "officially
sanctioned".  But it shows that a pkg_EXCLUDE would be easily
implementable.  A more clever implementation might be able to exclude
globbed files from a subpackage that have been explicitly packaged in
another subpackage, I'm just not sure it's worth the trouble.
