  2a. There should be a way to specify deltas from the list generated
      via the VCS (to include particular derived files, or exclude
      some sources).

I would never want #3, myself, but I have no problem with it being
available as an option for the VCS-averse.  It should probably use the
same "deltas" model as in #2a.
