You are right - I missed that win32 uses win32/glob.h
I think a better solution is just to create an emulation for
GLOB_BRACE. This is nothing new, GLOB_ONLYDIR is already emulated on
systems not using the GNU C library (where GLOB_EMULATE_ONLYDIR is
defined instead) since 4.3.3.
On one hand it would be nice with more cross-platform-compatibility.
Using local libraries might create incompatibility, forcing users to
make usage of PEAR libraries and such instead of native functions
(though File_Find, that has just reached stable for a 1.0.x-release,
could be an alternative).
On the other hand, more code would make require more maintenance. Not
that it seems like glob.h is that troublesome.
