Summary: Request --exclude like ctags

Initial Comment:
I use cscope & ctags with VIM.  I have started working with larger source trees 
and would like to exclude patterns, just like I can with ctags.

Ideally, I would think it is acceptable to simply port the functionality from 
ctags but there may be reasons that's not possible.

I'd be willing to volunteer for this if other saw benefit to it.

Message:
I don't see the need for a new option.  Whatever you want to achieve using
--exclude can already be achieved using 'find' to create a cscope.files
list.

There is a fundamental principle governing the design of Unix tools: one
job <--> one tool.  Creating lists of files to do something with is one
job.  The tool that does it is 'find'.  cscope's -R is already a violation
of that principle.  No need to exent that given there's already a much more
powerful option available.
