[Box Backup] ExcludeFile command being ignored with Win32 client.

Hi Pete,

The newest versions of the client are case insensitive, so you can 
simplify your regex a bit:

':' does not need to be escaped.

> .+\.([aA][vV][iI]|[bB][mM][pP]|[iI][sS][oO]|[mM][pP][eE]?[3gG]|[tT][iI][fF]*|[tT][mM
> ][pP]|[bB][aAcC][kK]|[dD][bB][kK]|[bB][kK][~!1-9]|[mMtT][bB][kK]|[oO][lL][dD]|[sS][aA][vV]|[sS][wW][pP]|[wW][mM][aA]|[xX
> ][lL][kK]|[cC][sS][mM]|[dD][sS][kK]|[oO][bB][jJ]|[pP][aA][rR]|[dD][bB][xX]|[dD][lL][lL])$

This could now be written as:

 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.avi
 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.bmp
 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.iso
 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.mpe?[3g]
 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.tif
 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.tmp
 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.bak
 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.bck
 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.dbk
 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.bk[~!1-9]
 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.mbk
 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.tbk
 	ExcludeFilesRegex = .+\.old
 	[...]

which is easier to read, although somewhat longer and a bit less 
efficient :-)

Cheers, Chris.
