Hijacking the thread slightly, but is there a way to exclude multiple 
ports using the -x switch (or multiple -x switches)? Logically, I want 
to be able to do something like this:

portmaster -a -x '*foo*' -x '*bar*'

I so far haven't been able to figure out with casual prodding how to 
achieve the desired behaviour on the command line.

Cheers,
Lawrence
