Hello,

Is it possible for pacman to ignore packages by a pattern like
--ignore xorg-*?  I remember the painful days I've spent when
using catalyst, so I switched to xf86-video-ati, so as not to be
bothered by xorg packages.  --ignoregroup xorg won't work
perfectly, since not all xorg packages belong to that group.  But
some packages do need to be in sync with xorg-server,
e.g. xorg-server-common.  It will be handy if I can just put
"IgnorePkg = xorg-*" in my /etc/pacman.conf.

Thank you.
