No I mean, I want to pass in all the files in a directory to a windows  
command line tool.  But the tool has to "opt in" to allow me to use  
wildcards.

In other words, the tool receives "*.*" as a parameter, and it is  
responsible for expanding.  If it doesn't, I'm SOL.

Compare to Unix, I don't care what the tool supports, I am in control of  
the expressiveness of what I want to say.
