I am only concerned with deleting lines that start with etc..., /etc..., and
./etc... (Note that this will match a directory like /etcold but I don't
care). So the first attempt is to produce a new file list that does not have
any of those lines.

${pkg}.exclude.list is a proper substring of ${pkg}.list and therefore gets
included in the for loop.

This particular code snippet treated /etc one way and /var a completely
different way. I could integrate both by producing a different exclusion
list for the default store. I'll think about it.

cmp is a busybox applet. If don't have Andersen kit at hand, there is a
rather plump busybox on the discussion.img disk that I referred to earlier
this week. O'Reilly "Linux in a nutshell" has proper documentation for it.
