[MiNT] shel_find: search-strategy

["Helmut Karlowski" <helmut.karlowski@ish.de>]

Hi,

there was a bug in shel_find, which is now fixed hopefully.

To clarify how it works, I've tried to describe the search-strategy:

 1. filename has an absolute path -> goto 6.

 2. split path from filename -> filepath, filename

 3. if usehome is true do wildcard-search for $HOME\[filepath\]filename

 4. do wildcard-search for client-home\[filepath\]filename
    client-home is the directory where the client was started from

 5. if filename does not contain a path-component do a wildcard-search for  
filename in $PATH

 6. look for filename without any processing

 wildcard-search: case-insensitive, wildcards ? and * possible (DOS-like  
pattern-matching)


Objections?
