A while back I posted a proof of concept using wildmatch() from rsync. Back then the obstacle was case-insensitive matching support. I did not realize that there was iwildmatch() that does exactly that. So here again a series that is probably ready for consumption. Now patterns that contain slashes will always go through (i)wildmatch(). fnmatch() is only used for basename matching.
