I agree with it: I think we want the functionality, we don't want to add
a dep on a regex library, and using anything other than * for a wildcard

solution would be.
sigh. i was afraid you might say that.
ok, i've hacked up a proof of concept that seems to behave as well as
can be expected under these conditions,
switching off default globbing and using an extra program, glob (which
just echoes its argument, after standard windows filename globbing), to
get controlled globbing.
now, the question is: where do we want to allow filename globbing in
ghc-pkg? the following involve files:
register, update, FlagGlobalConfig, FlagConfig
but all of these seem to expect exactly one file, to be stored in a
single FilePath? am i missing something,
or was this a wild goose chase?-)
Just turn off self-globbing for ghc-pkg. Anyone using a sensible shell
(i.e. bash) will still get globbing anyway. I'd be surprised if anyone at
all notices.
Cheers,
Simon
