Hello!

I wonder if we could add some functionality to exclude specific files
from the checksum-check.

But only some files.

A good example where this could be useful it the astro/xtide port:

While the source of the file should include the checksum-check (for
trojans), the DATAFILE for the astro-stuff cannot contain trojans or
similar.
However, the datafile updates quite often, and it is a good idea to
always take the newest version.

If it was excluded from the check, this would be possible.

Comments?

Alex
