Also worth mentioning is that a straightforward port of a Unix
fnmatch() implementation won't work correctly with filenames that
contain double-byte characters, as used in East Asian locales. There
are double-byte characters in the CJK codepages that have the slash as
trailing byte! Either you should use wide character APIs and
pathnames, or be prepared to handle double-byte characters.
