I thought ``glob`` wasn't available on Windows? In any case, I think if we introduce this, we need to support it everywhere, since once this is put into use, it's likely to be a very central part of the policy (for example for use in ``inputs``). AIX is a big platform for us, many customers use it, so I think it's important.

But I also have to say: I agreed to this patch because it was small. Please don't spend time on this right now if we have write our own glob matching to make this work. It's not critical for 3.6, and I don't think we should merge that before the release. ``findfiles`` is already a great improvement over 3.5, and we can get incrementally better in later releases.
