copy of provided dependencies

Added the ability to specify a scope to exclude. This uses the plexus ScopeArtifactFilter, which defines what scopes are included. For example, since test scope effectively includes all other scopes, then excluding the test scope would exclude everything. (which the plugin won't allow)

There are some bugs in the test cases if running under *nix

The reason is the shortening of the long time value to seconds for some file systems.

If you set a long time of actual value
> 1160492034512
to a file and afterwards read the lastModificationDate, you'll only get
> 1160492034000

So here are 2 failure situations:

1.) For some test cases you simply have to extend the time-offset from 222 to 2222:

.) TestMarkerFileFilter.java
.) TestDefaultMarkerFileHandler.java
.) TestSourcesMarkerFileHandler.java
If you have an actual time value of
> 1160492034112
you'll get
> 1160492034334
which will be truncated by the file system to
> 1160492034000
which is lower then the original value! -> assert will fail
adding 2222 (bit over 2 seconds) will help.

2.) As i explained above, some time values have to be truncate to seconds:

.) TestCopyDependenciesMojo.java line 523
assertEquals( time/1000, copiedFile.lastModified()/1000 );

.) TestCopyDependenciesMojo.java line 488 and 550
Thread.sleep( 1001 ); // sleep a bit more than a second...

at least it works on Linux this way. Please retest under Windoof

oops wrongly attached this to MDEP-21 first, for sanity i also attach it here.
