Web Essentials 2013 Version 2.3 add a new way to deal this problem: .weignore. See http://vswebessentials.com/features/general#weignore or https://github.com/madskristensen/WebEssentials2013/pull/1250. The new way is better then old way, because this is the centralize and consistent place to manage all compilers and linters. And it is faster because the old way will still need to run each target file by compilers and linters, and then ignored by them. New way will just ignore from Web Essentials itself, reduce the time/CPU/disk that runs into compilers and linters. And no need to understand each compilers and linters specific config format to do the same thing.
