If a game uses large files and in-place binary patching for updates, it might be worth adding to the exclusions list.


## Future

These may or may not happen, but have been on my mind.

* Double-check the default exclusions list. Should be able to do something with the compresstimation code to verify them.
* Examine [overlapped IO], see if we can get more information and control out of the compression process (per-file progress and cancellation).
* Recompression, for changing compression modes without manually decompressing/recompressing.
* Scheduled task or a background service to periodically recompress selected directories.
* Write bindings to Microsoft's [Compression API], add benchmarks for the various compression modes to help users decide which is most appropriate for their system.
* Less rubbish installer. Why does this involve so much XML oh god.
