Hi Heinz, many of the changes in this branch are unrelated to each other, so you can cherry-pick the ones you want.

--exclude-from is an idea for implementing a whitelist for specific Slackware packages, there is a separate commit for an example whitelist file.

I'm not sure that I like the suggested architecture check changes. If you don't like them, that's ok :-) but if you do like them I'll add some more sub-checks to make it more useful.

Symlinks that are broken return false with '-e' and need to be
matched explicitly with '-L'.

--exclude-from (-X) reads a list of exclude specs from a file.

Exclude specs can optionally specify a package name:
  <packagename>:<messageid>
  <packagename>
  <messageid>
The package name must be exact (wildcards not supported, and
must not include version/arch/build/tag/.t?z).

Essentially, this implements a 'whitelist file'.
