    why not check for both program and filename? that should then catch 1, 2 
and 4, no?
    
    excludeApps could also be pre-processed to include both long paths and 
filenames which would then allow catching all 4 variations.
    
    probably the reason this was written to only catch 1 and 4, however, was in 
case there were binaries of the same name in different paths that should be 
treated differently (allowing differentiation by full path)..
    
    Lubos will certainly have more insight on this, however.
