Someone just asked on the #wget IRC channel if there was a way to
exclude files with certain names, and I recommended -X, without
realizing that that option excludes directories, not files.

My question is: why do we allow users to exclude directories, but not files?

I'm also wondering how wget determines what's a directory and what's a
file: extension-based heuristic? I'll have to look at the source (unless
someone answers me here first!).
