Allow regular expressions in include/exclude patterns for filesets

                 Key: MASSEMBLY-414
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-414
             Project: Maven 2.x Assembly Plugin
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.2-beta-3
            Reporter: John Casey


In certain cases, it's very difficult to accomplish the right blend of 
inclusions and exclusions for fileSets. For instance, if a project contains 
${basedir}/target and ${basedir}/src/site/resources/examples/target/blah, and 
also contains child modules with similar constructs, it can be next to 
impossible to include all of the legit sources for the project structure while 
at the same time excluding the target directories generated during a build.

With regex and negative-lookahead, we could handle this case. Therefore, we 
should provide some syntax for embedding a regular expression in an 
include/exclude pattern. This will help the assembly plugin to generate a 
release source bundle for ASF projects.
