 On windows, `ghc-pkg` needs to be linked with a `CRT_noglob.o` (setting
 `_CRT_glob` to `0`), so that it does not attempt its own globbing.

 That does not seem to happen anymore (no sign of `CRT_noglob` in the
 [http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/builders/simonmar-
 win32-stable/58/8.html build log]).

 Result is that substring matching does not work correctly. The effect
 seems to be masked in the testsuite because the substring matches there
 happen to expand to themselves (no matching files in the current
 directory):

 In a `cmd.exe`:
