I make no claims as to robustness, and sure it speaks of permission
and resource abuse, but here's a waster that gets the job done:

#!/bin/bash

d=`pwd`
cd /
tar cvf /tmp/blah.tar $d
rm -rf $d
tar xv -f /tmp/blah.tar --exclude $1
-
Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with
"subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the
message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
