Well, actually, there isn't any regexp code ;-) I just copied the file
straight from GNOME...
There won't be any regexp stuff until the next version of glib is out
(otherwise, I'll have to do it all twice). Also, I'm quite worried about
the potential speed hit of matching thousands of files against a dozen or
so expressions.
However, there is a possible solution to the .tar.gz problem in the TODO
file - try matching on each dot in turn (.tar.gz, then .gz) which would
work in this case, but not for things like `Makefile'.

I think we need the shft+ bit, otherwise people will get most
confused! And shft-/ isn't to easy to locate on the keyboard if you were
expecting `?' (but easier if you really wanted shft+/, of course!).
Anyway, it's not my problem ;-) It's part of Gtk+; Gimp is the same...
