// .NAME vtkGlobFileNames - find files that match a wildcard pattern
// .SECTION Description
// vtkGlobFileNames is a utility for finding files and directories
// that match a given wildcard pattern.  Allowed wildcards are
// *, ?, [...], [!...]. The "*" wildcard matches any substring,
// the "?" matches any single character, the [...] matches any one of
// the enclosed characters, e.g. [abc] will match one of a, b, or c,
// while [0-9] will match any digit, and [!...] will match any single
// character except for the ones within the brackets.  Special
// treatment is given to "/" (or "\" on Windows) because these are
// path separators.  These are never matched by a wildcard, they are
// only matched with another file separator.
// .SECTION Caveats
// This function performs case-sensitive matches on UNIX and
// case-insensitive matches on Windows.
// .SECTION See Also
// vtkDirectory
