IIRC the Windows command shell doesn't do wildcard expansion -- CLI
programs are expected to handle this themselves. Totally opposite from the
Unix way of course. :)

It should be possible to run the emscripten commands from a unix-style
bash shell (installed from mingw32 or cygwin); alternately just manually
listing out the files to a loooong command in a batch file should work.
