	Would it be possible to change the syntax of EXCLUDE_SUBDIRS so
	it matched */${EXCLUDE_SUBDIRS} - maybe something with the M:
	modfier?

	So to exclude sys/arch/i386/stand/installboot you could set
	EXCLUDE_SUBDIRS to sys/arch/i386/stand/installboot,
	arch/i386/stand/installboot, i386/stand/installboot, etc.
