Ooooh. I know it's bad form to reply to one's self...
I hit send too soon. Shell globbing seems to mostly work, and the code
in utils/rdimport.cpp supports this. It's "advanced globbing" (such as
using the brace expansion "{}" construct, and regular expressions that
do not work in the PATH field of DROPBOXES.
It might be the way in which glob.h is used and the way in which glibc
is compiled that affects whether brace expansion ("{}") works; I haven't
been able to trace it that far. Fred? Definitive response?
Thanks!
