I've gone and looked at those files, but I can't really make heads or
tails of them.  For example, how am I to interpret the sample
matches/patterns listed in the GtkMatchType enum?  (The "*A?A*", "*A?AA",
etc.)

As much as I'd love to figure this stuff out on my own, I have a deadline
quickly approaching and need to concentrate my efforts elsewhere.  Can
someone please give a sample piece of code that simply prints the names of
the files matching "*.bar" in directory "./foo"?

Many thanks in advance.
