Filesets: wishlist

[Marcus Harnisch]

Hi Yuya

My intention was to extend the concept of fileset from the user
perspective. Providing a shell() directive, together with a [filesetalias]
section in the config file, would enable users to encapsulate complex shell
commands. This could be incredibly useful (would be for me anyway).
In that case, a separate perm() directive would not even be necessary,
although still useful. I was merely suggesting it since having only exec()
seems arbitrarily incomplete from a user perspective.

But users might care.

Kind regards
Marcus
