Subject: Re: File.fnmatch's behavior

Hi, rubyists.

I implemented fnmatch. I did some change to behavior, so I want to know whether
this is acceptable as File.fnmatch in ruby1.9 or not.

Changed feature is...

  * Followed SUSv3 pattern handling.

  * Undefine FNM_PATHNAME and define oposite flag FNM_SEPMATCH.

  * '**/' is supported when FNM_SEPMATCH is not set.

  * Only '/' is accepted as path separator.

  * Faster '*' expansion.

Still open issue is... [ruby-dev:23029]

  * Should File.fnmatch('**/test/', '/b/c/test/') match or not?
  * Should File.fnmatch('**/test/', '../test/') match or not?

C file's location is

   http://www.ccsnet.ne.jp/~ocean/23030/fnmatch.c

Please try it and comment about it.

Regards,

Yamamoto.
