  Gnulib module: glob
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  IRIX 5.3, mingw, MSVC 9, BeOS.
  @item
  This function does not list symbolic links to nonexistent files among the results,
  on some platforms:
  glibc 2.14, AIX 7.1, HP-UX 11, Solaris 11 2011-11.
  @item
  On platforms where @code{off_t} is a 32-bit type, this function may not
  work correctly on huge directories larger than 2 GB.
  (Cf. @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}.)
