[Box Backup] Boxwin next version

[Nick Knight]

Yes you did - in Ben's last email he did say he probably got the
expression wrong - it should be treated as a full regular expression -
that looks like how it is implemented.

Nick,

Special thanks for this one from me - it was my only main problem with
the system under Win32. I will give it a thorough spin.

If I understood the question correctly, we should treat this
configuration parameter either as an extension "list", or a native
regular expression. If we go the later route, the expression:

*.(mp3|MP3)$

would be, indeed, incorrect. The correct version would be:

.*\.(mp3|MP3)$

or, technically:

.+\.(m|M)(p|P)3$

Did I get the problem at hand right?
