Yes, I know how I would write it, but the "glob" function is much mode convenient...
Maybe the Qt people should think about implementing it, for example as a static
member of QDir class: Linux and HP-UX have "glob", Solaris has "wordexp", this
shouldn't be a hard thing to do.
Until then, either implement my own globbing function, or use OS implementation
with the use of some #ifdef's. What's the best ?

Michael.
