Not yet (maybe never?) darn it!

Garry Deane finally got it register with me that you can get the 
same effect with 2 passes. Since exclusions only apply to the 
Source, on the second pass reverse the Source & Destination and 
use /RS. Then apply your "now Destination" Exclusions accordingly. 
Some other switchs come into play, I have /RSY/PD0/BZ/ED/S/Q in 
addition to log file specs and exclusions when looking across my 
network of 2. In words, first copy what's to be updated in the 
forward direction. Then remove what is selected for copy in the 
reverse direction with the exception of exclusions.

I also want Inclusion File capability. Finally recognizing that it 
will save me much multiple xxcopy invocations via batch files.
