Hi,

Just tried to update ABCL to 1.3.2 but got error when I tried to load hunchentoot. The actual error case can reduced to this:

(DIRECTORY #P"/usr/local/bin/../lib/maven-core-*.jar")

I tried above with sbcl, ecl and clisp. All those return nil as result. With ABCL I get: Bad place for a wild pathname. [Condition of type FILE-ERROR]

Ok, the diagnostic is overly-strict, because the NAME component should be interpreted as a string, as it's not a wildcard component. But, I trust you are aware that an ANSI Common Lisp implementation doesn't necessarily support wildcard-globbing of files? SBCL does, so perhaps we should add such an extension to abcl as well.
