I took the easy way out so for now only the fnmatch path works
properly.  But eventually I will get to the pmatch path too,
especially because fnmatch(3) seems to slow down quite a bit
once locale is set.

A multi-byte character has to be valid according to mbrtowc
before I mark it with MBCHAR.  Otherwise it'll be treated as
just a single-byte character.
