The attached attempts to mitigate a nasty interaction between globbing 
in bash and the cygwin .exe hack (i.e.: "/bin/b*sh" fails to match 
/bin/bash).

I originally posted this (incorrectly) to the -apps ml.

To be clear, this version is slightly revised from what I originally 
posted to -apps: specifically, I optimized the code selecting filenames 
matching "?*.exe" a bit, since this will often have to run nearly as 
many times as there are total files in all directories (nontrivially) 
searched by a given glob-pattern.
