After trying and trying, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the program to allow the user to specify exclusions at run time. every method ive looked at involves either creating an entire subroutine to parse the information and then pass it to the --exclude argument in the Restore class, or to simply have the user add their own --exclude flag at runtime along with the hard coded exclusions.

Either way, Im going to let this alone for a while. Josh, youre welcome to try your hand at it, if you want, but I think we could be safe simply stating that users could add additional exclusions hardcoded in the source from the help page.
