I guess. I'd need some evidence it'd be needed first though. I am 
toying with the idea of passing in parameters in any order, which 
would make adding optional seldom used things like ExcludeDirs 
easier.

TBH I don't understand why other people mix files that are built 
with ones that aren't in the same directory tree.
