We already filter out certain URIs, namely https: (so we don't index
your bank account #), file: and mailto: URIs.  Adding more, or a more
general mechanism (maybe a dotfile of patterns to exclude in the user's
home directory?), should be easy.

The relevant code is in beagle/tools/IndexWebContent.cs.  It is not a
particularly big or complicated program, so adding this feature would be
a good project for someone with limited C# or Beagle-hacking experience.
