Feature request: add the ability to exclude classes from the coverage report

[firepub-pfreeman]

We generate a number of classes in our code base and it would be useful to exclude packages or files from the final code coverage report.

I've been wondering when someone finds a need for this :)

Will look into it when I get a chance.

Shouldn't be too difficult if e.g. regex's are enough to distinguish excluded paths/classes.

[firepub-pfreeman]

Regex would be fine. Also tying this feature into mavens standard includes, excludes mechanism would be nice. http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/include-exclude.html

I'd like to +1 this! :)

Any pointers on how to get started with this? I wouldn't mind adding it to a fork and submitting a PR.
