Okay, *nix wins then. :-) Python's stdlib is already fairly
*nix-oriented (even when it's being cross-platform), so I guess it's
not a big deal.

My only remaining concern then is that there shouldn't be more than
one way to do recursive globbing in a new API like this. Why does
rglob() exist when the documentation simply says "like calling glob()
but with '**' added in front of the pattern"?
