Thanks for your contribution!

I like the idea and spirit of this patch, but I have a fundamental remark on
this particular implementation: I don't want us to add features to libcurl
what depends on a "POSIX 2 complient" regex library. I bet that rules out a
huge portion of the world, including Windows.

I would guess that a much simpler approach would suffice for most people,
using good old and much simpler DOS-style wildcards. Don't you agree?
