dirEntries with ** (recursive) globbing

[Timothee Cour]

alas, no, I posted on exactly this some times ago:
glob is non-recursive in D:
http://forum.dlang.org/post/mailman.2367.1382320537.1719.digitalmars-d-learn@puremagic.com

Furthermore, it would be very inefficient to filter out results given by
recursive dirEntries that match a glob pattern in general case (I can give
examples if needed)
