Originally assigned to: @netblue30 on GitHub.

Some programs (like awesome) follow the XDG base directory spec and store their system-wide configuration in /etc/xdg/<program-name>.

At the moment, private-etc cannot copy only xdg/<program-name> (it complains about it being an invalid file name). It would be nice if it could, for example:

private-etc xdg/awesome
