I am familiar with this variable but I haven't noticed until now that not
all the paths Dubrovskiy Viacheslav
<http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view_user_page.php?id=4130> listed in bug
report were removed from auto listing.

Currently
/etc /etc/init.d /usr /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/bin /usr/lib
/usr/lib64 /usr/include
paths are removed.

I can add /usr/local to the list. Are there any additional paths from the
above bug report that anyone thinks should be added?

I would assume that all of the directories from Linux filesystem hierarchy
standard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard,
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html) should be excluded on Linux
however UNIX filesystem hierarchy has less directories listed on wiki (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_filesystem) and I am not even certain
that all flavours of UNIX use them.

I think that at least directories that are listed both for Linux and Unix
should be added.

What is the opinion of others?
