    Really, I should just fix the one in parsing.c and make everything
    use the same copy of the code, but I'm not doing that yet.

    Eliminate all the findfirst/findnext usage

    This was a terrible API in DOS, and the re-implementation of the
    DOS API using the Win32 and POSIX APIs was just gross.

    Replace the whole thing with a function that takes a path and a
    wildcard filename and returns an allocated, NULL-terminated char **
    instead.

    There's still a bit of cleanup around the edges needed here, but
    I'll likely do that as part of a code reorganization that moves
    functions into a better set of files.

    The thing as a whole has not been tested on Windows yet, but the
    individual functions were.
