Various people have suggested that perl do its own globbing, rather than
invoke a subshell to do it.  It might be noted that sufficiently recent
versions of System V (3.something onwards?) have a libgen.a, and in that
is the function gmatch, stolen from sh.  This could be yet another thing
for Configure to check.
