But first, check whether it needs to be done at all; and if so, implement it
using the standard interface. Many libraries, and at least one influential
standard, already contain "int gmatch(char *str, char *pat)". It handles not
only "*" and "?" but also "[xyz]" and "[!xyz]" (yes, that's a bang, not a
circumflex; glob vs regexp strikes again).
