[BackupPC-users] rsync exclusion list - apply to multiple shares

I was under the incorrect assumption that specifying an asterisk would apply 
the exclusion list to all ShareNames until I struggled with making it work and 
re-read the tutorial [1] where it specifies that the asterisk "means it applies 
to all shares that don't have a specific entry".

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '*' => [
    '*access_log*',
    '.apdisk',
    '*/.apdisk',
    '.cache'
  ]

Is there a method to make an exclusion list for all shares, even if individual 
shares have specific lists of their own? For example, I want to exclude the 
/var/lib/mysql folder on the /var share, but I also want to exclude any 
directory named .cache from all shares. 

Would it be valid to list all shares in a common definition, and also break 
them out into individual lists like this:

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/home, /var, /usr, /boot, /data' => [
    '*access_log*',
    '.apdisk',
    '*/.apdisk',
    '.cache'
  ]

$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
  '/var' => [
'/lib/mysql'
]


My list of files to exclude from every ShareName includes over 40 items so it's 
not trivial (or aesthetically pleasing) to append this list to each share 
definition.
