sure ... and i'd bet the people who actually want this functionality 
appreciate it :)

well, i think if you're going to be supporting * in paths, then there isnt 
much choice ... you're going to need to use fnmatch() ... i was just saying 
that it sucks as both fnmatch() and glob() tend to be disabled as they arent 
terribly common

you could add in an option though so that if fnmatch() is disabled, then the 
include directive does not support wildcards ... or you could have the config 
option for ldconfig/include force enable fnmatch() ... doesnt matter terribly 
much to me which direction it goes so long as i can disable it completely :)
