xinstall glob question

[Darren Weber]

The {!<pattern>} syntax is supposed to NOT that file name <pattern>.  I have
a directory of binary executables among a lot of .dylib files and I want to
exclude all the .dylib files from the glob.

The system command is working, so I'll go ahead with that.

Thanks, Darren
