I have no idea what the rationale for some of these regexes are. Currently, include and exclude are a list of regexes that file names are matched against. Should this be combined into one big regex? Would it be a good idea to add a third keyword argument, say #:documentation, that will select info documentation files and install them separately in some other directory? =
