/*
 * Definition of wildcard syntax:
 * 
 *  - * matches any sequence of characters, including zero.
 *  - ? matches exactly one character which can be anything.
 *  - [abc] matches exactly one character which is a, b or c.
 *  - [a-f] matches anything from a through f.
 *  - [^a-f] matches anything _except_ a through f.
 *  - [-_] matches - or _; [^-_] matches anything else. (The - is
 *    non-special if it occurs immediately after the opening
 *    bracket or ^.)
 *  - [a^] matches an a or a ^. (The ^ is non-special if it does
 *    _not_ occur immediately after the opening bracket.)
 *  - \*, \?, \[, \], \\ match the single characters *, ?, [, ], \.
 *  - All other characters are non-special and match themselves.
 */

/*
 * The wildcard matching technique we use is very simple and
 * potentially O(N^2) in running time, but I don't anticipate it
 * being that bad in reality (particularly since N will be the size
 * of a filename, which isn't all that much). Perhaps one day, once
 * PuTTY has grown a regexp matcher for some other reason, I might
 * come back and reimplement wildcards by translating them into
 * regexps or directly into NFAs; but for the moment, in the
 * absence of any other need for the NFA->DFA translation engine,
 * anything more than the simplest possible wildcard matcher is
 * vast code-size overkill.
 * 
 * Essentially, these wildcards are much simpler than regexps in
 * that they consist of a sequence of rigid fragments (? and [...]
 * can never match more or less than one character) separated by
 * asterisks. It is therefore extremely simple to look at a rigid
 * fragment and determine whether or not it begins at a particular
 * point in the test string; so we can search along the string
 * until we find each fragment, then search for the next. As long
 * as we find each fragment in the _first_ place it occurs, there
 * will never be a danger of having to backpedal and try to find it
 * again somewhere else.
