glob is used in newer scripts that do similar things (augeas ups.conf
lens generation, SNMP info extraction, ...)

this specific script was extracted from the LIRC work, when I was
leading the Ubuntu Media Center (defunct) effort, and lightly adapted
to NUT.
it took me a minute to adapt and integrate it in NUT, which was fine.
not clean, nor optimal, but fine enough to do the job...
not sure to get the exact idea behind this comment.
but an answer may be: because I'm alone in this body (no clone
avail!), I only 24h a day like everyone, and I'm already pouring to
much time for the world and not enough to my family and myself?! then,
any help is always welcome ;-)
and there, I renew my proposition:
we always need motivated and competent people to help improve NUT.
would you be interested in joining us, and replace all these "stupid"
comments by sane implementations?
more seriously, this is the opensource credo "release early, release
often", and improve every iteration...
the thing there is that we needed visibility on the final use.
part of this, we generate 1 header (for nut-scanner) and bagazillions
of helper scripts (for hotplug, udev, upower, ...).
if you have a better idea that can address all these, in a better way,
I'm all hears.

applied to trunk, r3584, with an added TODO list, to track the needed rewrite.
thanks.
