Allow wildcards in dependency exclusions

[Tim <ch...@gmail.com>]

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3832

This has gotten a lot of attention in maven jira and would be huge
improvement. But it's also sat idle (with a potential patch as noted
by the last commenter) for a while now.

So I'm taking Wendy's advice and bringing it up on this list to see if
others have interest or comments for it.
I run into this all the time because of (for better or worse) bad poms
from 3rd party dependencies.

I think it would be huge gain in cleaning up the verbosity of pom.xmls as well.
