Re: Build pruning

[Tony Kolarik]

If I understand the problem he only wants to build the "stuff" directory,
and +foo[AB]/Conscript would build fooA and fooB in addition to "stuff".  I
think he's right that the regexp approach doesn't work with nested
Conscripts that Build(), as opposed to Build()'ing all the conscripts in
one master file.

It looks like the problem might be this line (666 in 2.0.2)  in Build()
     next if $param::include && $file->path !~ /$param::include/o;
which prevents reading the tree of included Conscripts if you haven't
listed the whole path in the regexp. Seems like you'd need to descend the
tree in doscripts() ("do $path") and remove the parents afterwards somehow
if they don't match the regexp.
