That must be a win32 specific bug then on the way globs are translated
(\ should be escaped) with regular expressions. the exclude built on
my mac os  is :

'^build/.*'

which is correct. I will try on a vmware as soon I get a chance,

Until then you can fill an issue in bugs.python.org. I'll fix it as soon
as I have a failing example in a unit test
