Message:

• Document in man page and HOWTO the previous syntax modifications for -E/-I options and '|' separator
• Fix #444. mondoarchive now supports inclusion/exclusion of dirs with spaces in their name. this required a syntax change for the -E/-I options where the list of dirs needs to be separated by '|' now instead of ' '.
• Fix issus with mindi when launched from a dir containing spaces
• Fix a but when no -E option is give on CLI (null) string generated
• Fix #459 by correcting an old README containing info on the edit-mountlist binary which doesn't exist.
