{
  Basic pattern matching.  Supports '*' and '?' only.

  This code is based on a unit by Markus Stephany ([email protected]) that
  I found on DSP (http://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/delphi/).  Please DO NOT email
  Markus about any problems you may find in it.  All problems with it should be
  reported to me, since I'm the last one who mucked with it.

  The original did a bunch of stuff that I didn't need (like searching inside
  of files), didn't do some stuff that I did need (like handling spaces in the
  filename), and had a few bugs, too.  In order to help me find the bugs more
  quickly, I stripped out the stuff I didn't need, renamed things to be a little
  more clear, and generally tried to clean up the mess that comes from stripping
  out stuff you don't need.  :)
