You can add HP-UX B.10.20 and B.11.00. The "glob" function is POSIX.2. However
the GLOB_TILDE flag is a GNU extension. So maybe it is reasonable to think about
a Qt function (in QDir class) that does globbing: tilde expansion is made using
"QDir::homeDirPath()", and wildcard expansion using "glob()", returning a QStringList.
I'm sure it could be useful. Isn't it ?

Michael.
