  * Add autodesc and autoexclude options.
  This patch implements two optional options for multidir repos: autodesc and
  autoexclude.
  
  If autodesc is enabled, the description will be taken from the file named
  "_darcs/third_party/darcsweb/desc", inside the repository. If it doesn't
  exist, the default will be used.
  
  If autoexclude is enabled, only repositories with a directory named
  "_darcs/third_party/darcsweb/" will be listed.
  
  The path "_darcs/third_party/darcsweb/" for darcsweb-exclusive preferences was
  chosen following a suggestion by David Roundy in the mail with Subject
  "[darcs-users] darcsweb 0.12 and some questions", Message-ID
  20051109123238.GB17288@abridgegame.org, date "9 Nov 2005 07:32:44".
