Yeah, that's quite straightforward to do - although, there are that many
files that it would probably be easier to do a wildcard include anyway
unless it's a fairly well defined set that's required. In reality I
doubt most people would care whats in the include/ directory anyway -
it's the download size I'm more worried about!
