[Therion] Trying to understand relation between select/unselect and export

[Benedikt Hallinger]

Confirmed, it does not do what one might expect here too.
Despite i had tought that i had done this before, it turned out i had 
problems and switched to explicitely selecting what i wanted to have in a 
whitelist fashion.

Selecting, then deselecting would be a very nice feature to have, and it 
would be great if it would work in one compiler file.
