Yes.

I understand RE's are extremely powerful, but I don't have enough experience
with them to implement what you suggest without some help. How could I do
the above (exclude all files ending with .pdf except for files ending with
x.pdf) using CPACK_SOURCE_IGNORE_FILES alone?  Essentially I need
to ignore "\\\\.pdf$" AND NOT "x\\\\.pdf$", but I don't know how to specify
AND NOT in regular expressions.

Same question for the case of certain source tree directories where I need
to exclude every file in the directory except for a specific few.  To make
the question really specific for the RE experts here suppose I have a
specific directory in the source tree called papers/paper1 filled with files
I want to exclude except for papers/paper1/paper1_part1.tex and
papers/paper1/paper1_part2.tex?

So this would be "^${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}.*/papers/paper1" AND NOT
"^${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}.*/papers/paper1/paper1_part[12].tex"

but (again) how do you specify the AND NOT in RE's?
