Hi, 

I renamed a few image files in a directory to exclude them when generating 
tileindex with gdaltindex. Accidentally I renamed them to something like 
image.tifbak instead of image.bak that was my plan.  I realised that when I 
created tileindex with the command "gdaltindex index.shp *.tif" also the file 
named .tifbak was included.  The command seems not to be strict with the 
extension but it is happy when it finds letters "tif" in the beginning of the 
extension.  I made a couple of more trials and file named image.tif.bak was not 
included in tileindex while image.tifa was.  However, if I make tileindex 
"gdaltindex index.shp *.ti" the tileindex will include only files with exact 
extension .ti and not with longer ones like .tif. I run on Windows if that 
matters. Not a big problem even it took a while to understood what was 
happening.
