In the criterion package, I tried to have a data-files section like this:

data-files:
  templates/js/jquery-*.min.js

When I try to run cabal, I get this error:

cabal: invalid file glob 'templates/js/jquery-*.min.js'. Wildcards '*' are
only allowed in place of the file name, not in the directory name or file
extension. If a wildcard is used it must be with an file extension.

The actual name of the file I'm trying to include is as follows:

templates/js/jquery-1.6.4.min.js

It looks like cabal is misidentifying where the "*" is showing up in the pattern here.

Perhaps it would be nice to get #1975 merged.

@quasicomputational
Allow ** wildcards in globs.

These are inspired by a plan described in a comment in haskell#2522, and only
implement a quite limited form of recursive matching: only a single **
wildcard is accepted, it must be the final directory, and, if a **
wildcard is present, the file name must include a wildcard.

Or-patterns are not implemented, for simplicity.

Closes haskell#3178, haskell#2030.
