29973	Add compilemessages --ignore option for excluding search paths	Elger Jonker	Ryan Siemens	"The makemessages command contain an ignore flag, this allows you to skip directories like 'vendor'. 

In our project we have a directory called .tox, this directory is ignored during makemessages. Yet, when compilemessages is run, the .tox directory (which contains a lot of sources) is included with compiling translations. 

Now we might have things wrong, but it seems strange to me that makemessages has ignore options, while compilemessages doesn't. Even if it's wrong, we might still want to ignore this folder because we're clumsy and it works just 'good enough'.

The command we'd like to use looks like:

{{{
django compilemessages --ignore vendor --ignore .tox -l EN
}}}
