Re: wildcard and globstar

[David Boyce]

This raises a side question: it's quite common for glob libraries to support ** as meaning "search recursively", such as https://docs.python.org/3/library/glob.html. I'd be a bit surprised if gnulib's glob implementation didn't support this. Is it possible for GNU make to support $(wildcard **/.mk)?
