Can you configure ntfsclone to clone an NTFS partition but not include the 
swap file or other files of your choice?  

I dream of the day that windows will use swap partition instead of a swap 
file.... sure it made sense to have a swap file that could adjust on the fly 
when drives were small... but with most machines having 40GB + these days I 
can afford to dedicate a pretty significant portion to a swap partition and 
not need it to resize itself
