Michael,

as you may read in another thread of today, the excluding-topic is a
hot one, you are right.

As I promised in the other thread I have contacted the Samba-Team to
answer our questions regarding this exclusion topic.

As soon as we have answers to this we will look for a better solution
to this.

cygwin may be be a help inbetween.
