Ok.  From the look of things the fnmatch() can probably be replaced with a 
simple strcmp if no flags are being used, and the first argument isn't a 
shell pattern.  If that method is used, or we don't want to use 
FNM_LEADING_DIR it would be easy enough to modify the 'filename' passed to 
fnmatch() so that it removes all but the leading directory.

I could make a patch that does that instead.  I'm just concerned that 
either of these changes will break another application that uses 
find_list_entry and expects it to have the current behaviour.
