Please clarify exactly what you're suggesting for an extention.  Do you want to
be able to --exclude-symlink='*.host' and have rsync skip a symlink that ends
with .host?

It seems to me that you just need to exclude files that are symlinked on a
per-host basis (e.g. --exclude=/etc/hosts). You could alternately tell rsync to
not copy any symlimks at all by leaving out the -l option (i.e. replace -a with
-rptgo).
