Allow wildcards (or regex) in the project include list

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Instead of configuring this way:

<setting name="ProjectNamesToInclude" serializeAs="Xml">
        <value>
          <ArrayOfString xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
            <string>Web (trunk)</string>
            <string>Web (branches-9.x)</string>
            <string>Web (branches-8.x)</string>
          </ArrayOfString>
        </value>
      </setting>

...perhaps we can configure this way:

<setting name="ProjectNamesToInclude" serializeAs="Xml">
        <value>
          <ArrayOfString xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
            <string>Web *</string>
          </ArrayOfString>
        </value>
      </setting>

...or even this way:

<setting name="ProjectNamesToInclude" serializeAs="Xml">
        <value>
          <ArrayOfString xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
            <string>*</string>
          </ArrayOfString>
        </value>
      </setting>

You can currently get the last scenario by removing the setting from the
configuration file (by default, all projects are retrieved).

I really prefer the explicitness of putting in the entire name of the project.
