Has anyone thought about a solution that is based on the more generic
problem of suppressing recursing into arbitrary directories by using
an exclude list that uses REs or patterns?

Most NO_FOO variables do nothing but prevent that certain subdirectories
are added to SUBDIR. It seems to me that a more direct approach to
achieve this is more generic and usable than the inherently non-
scalable solution of introducing more NO_FOO variables.

Just a thought...
