Minor Description
Right now you can do this myconf->* but can't say that myconf should get everything exept confs X, Y, Z...
In my specific case I have a few ivy files that have 20 confs and there are times when it is much easier (and more resilient to change) to say include everything except X, Y, and Z than to say include A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H and I. Also I may add a J later that I do want included where if this were implemented I could add J to the single ivy.xml and all the other references...
Now as to a good syntax that is a bit more tricky :-/ Giving it about 10 seconds of thought, What about the ! operator?
myconf->*, !X, !Y, !Z
