Hi all:

The behaviour of yum's subcommands wrt globbing is a little hazy, so I'd
like to propose that we explicitly define a few things. Specifically:

- all commands should accept globs (and no regexes)
- if the command argument is not a valid glob, it will be assumed that
the user wants matches for that string exactly, not strings that contain
that string.

This wouldn't really change too much, except for provides/whatprovides
on filelists (which I suspect is kinda broken anyways), and search.
Search is kind of special though, so if an invalid glob is supplied, we
could just wrap it in asterisks.

Thoughts?

-James
