Two improvements to CacheExclude

A few days ago, Crell and I released a new version of the CacheExclude module. This module makes it possible for Drupal administers to explicitly exclude pages or URL patterns from the Drupal page cache. With a little judicious use of this tool, you can gain the site-wide performance advantages of the page cache while still allowing those few "problematic" dynamic pages to function properly.
The new version, 6.x-2.1, boasts a pair of new features:
- Support for aliased paths. (This makes it possible to use paths generated by PathAuto and other such modules.)
- Automatic page cache clearing when new pages are added to the exclude list. (This prevents stale content from creeping in.)
In the spirit of expedient code, CacheExclude is a tiny module that can give a site a big performance boost.
