as a temporary workaround you can set you can set the environmnet
variable PICO_TREE before entering the script, and point it to
the location where your 'standard' tree is.

I agree that one would like more flexibility in excluding/including
things, so if you have patches to contribute they are welcome.

I believe that the way to achieve this kind of flexibility is to
define additional variables in the "config" file which control what
goes in and what not, including (possibly) the list of files to
exclude from either tree.
