I'm not going to commit this patch exactly as submitted because it
1. Doesn't document the new option in the manual pages,
2. Has the counterintuitive effect of removing directories listed as
"refuse" (which is what the submitter seems to intend, but it isn't
what most users will expect), and
3. Doesn't make any attempt to modify "portsnap fetch" to avoid
downloading unwanted files,
but I do intend to implement this functionality soon.
