I think the best way to do this is to use the existing ${findargs} and
-e options, surely we can simply
do a 1-line change
-e) shift
+ findargs="${findargs} -path '$1' -prune -o"
EXCLUDES="$1 $EXCLUDES";;
and then -e will apply to tests using $find (as long as they use
$findargs -- this will be the case in future versions) as well as
those that use lookfor_rootkit()
no need for new options. ie you can do -e /var/lib/backuppc
Otherwise you have to guess whether to use -e or -E
