Remarks

File masks are almost always sent in as a string array. Our file masks work mostly like DOS, in that:

*	Matches zero or more characters
?	Matches exactly one character

So, Build*.dll will match BuildMaster.dll, BuildMaster2.dll, but not BUildMaster.pdb

When a mask starts with a !, anything that doesn't match that wildcard is matched. When used in a set, ! masks take precedence over matches. For example, the masks * AND !* will match nothing *.dll AND !BuildMaster*.dll will match all .dll files that don't start with BuildMaster is matched.
