Summary: "core" directory not backed up

Initial Comment:
The jython source code appears to come with a directory
called "core".  Most commercial backup servers (TSM,
Legato Networker, Veritas NetBackup, etc.) mindlessly
avoid backing up anything called "core" in order to
avoid backing up core dumps - doesn't matter if it is a
file, a directory, etc., if it's named "core", your
backup server skips it and moves on.  Most backup
servers don't bother wasting any time (they are trying
to fit into a narrow backup window) looking to see if
it is a file, a directory, etc. or even inspecting the
file to see if it is a core dump.  You might want to
rename this directory to be "Core" or "CORE" or "main"
or anything that isn't "core" in future releases.
