Yes!  Tweaking IndexOnly solved my immediate problem, but it wasn't general
enough.  The real problem is that Swish-E has lots of ways to *exclude*
files from an index, but does not have nearly as much flexibility in
specifying file to *include*.

How would people feel about making an even more radical change --
deprecate FileRules and replace it with two new configuration commands:
FileExclude and FileInclude?

Then you could have, eg:

	FileInclude pathname contains 1998
	FileInclude filename contains index.html
	FileInclude directory contains .index_me

and so on.

If memory serves, Swish-E 1.2 will support regular expressions in
FileRules.  Now that would be a *really* flexible system!
