Summary: Apply materials based on name

Initial Comment:
We would like to be able to set LOS, GIFTmater, Aircode or other attributes using some quality of the name of the object.  For example:  Set the LOS on all things with "wheel" in the name to be 50.  This could be done with either wildcard or regular expressions, or an extention of the find command:


mged> adjust *wheel*.r LOS 50

or 

mged> find -t region -name *wheel* -exec adjust {} LOS 50

Actual implementation is negotiable, but it should be relatively simple syntax.
