-------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the patch Oliver - I have added this, but also done some refactoring. I removed the facility to specify arrays/lists of regular expression Strings for a number of reasons

- firstly seemed like a good idea to add constructors that specifying either Pattern flags or case sensitivity (using IOCase), but adding all flavours for flags/case and array/List seemed cumbersome.
- also the array/list facility only catered for OR conditions which is limiting since users may want AND - Commons IO already contains AndFileFilter / OrFileFilter implementations which can be used with RegexFileFilter to achieve both
