Can someone point me to a definition of what glob is supposed to have in 
it?  It seems to vary from php glob, perl glob, various different shell 
globs, etc.  I can not seem to find a definitive answer as to what a 
glob function is supposed to do, other than it is something shy of a 
regular expression.  The CMake one seems to do about the same as a bash 
shell as far as I can tell.
