I installed this change, with David's additional suggestions of CVS,
RCS, and factoring out the '\.'.
 
As for kpathsea, I don't plan to do anything, although I don't mind if
someone else does.  I have not seen any reports of such a problem in the
last umpteen years, so it is evidently not an issue in practice.  (If
someone else does work on it, the list of exclusions should be
controlled via a texmf.cnf variable, probably PATH_SEP-separated.)

Thanks,
Karl
