Comment(by ramiy):

 This is a very nice solution but it doe's not provide a general solutin to
 the real problem - The '''the_content_more_link''' filter does not work
 when using '''the_excerpt()''' function.

 Besides, the solution must be in the wp core whitout using
 '''functions.php''' file.

 Adding a new filter to '''wp_trim_excerpt()''' function is simpler to use
 and it workes the same as $excerpt_length filter.

 {{{
 // Changing excerpt length
 function new_excerpt_length($length) {
         return 20;
 }
 add_filter('excerpt_length', 'new_excerpt_length');

 // Changing excerpt more
 function new_excerpt_more($more) {
         return '.....';
 }
 add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');

 }}}

 bouth filters are in '''wp_trim_excerpt()''' function.
