I'm afraid I haven't actually used the g_completion functions before, just
the gtk_pattern functions - I think something like this would work for
your example:

GtkPatternSpec spec;
DIR *dp;
struct dirent *de;

gtk_pattern_spec_init (&spec, "*.bar");

dp = opendir ("/foo/bar");
while (de = readdir (dp))
{
	if (gtk_pattern_match_string (&spec, g_basename (de))
		printf ("%s\n", g_basename (de));
}
closedir (dp);


Well, something like that - normally you'd check return values and all,
but I'm lazy - you get the idea :)
