[PATCH 3/6] builtin-help: make it possible to exclude some commands in list_commands()

From
Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org>
Date

Message-ID
<9cc2813166c8b20ffb411c3a28ad86665e60033b.1217207602.git.vmiklos@frugalware.org>
In-Reply-To
<5a003a0e20d0942c946680e4eade8e9d19f0036b.1217207602.git.vmiklos@frugalware.org>

The supposed method is to build a list of commands to be excluded using add_cmdname(), then pass the list as the new exclude parameter. If no exclude is needed, NULL should be used.
