-;; of GNU Emacs.  This means that Emacs wants to expand wildcards if
-;; `find-file-wildcards' is non-nil, and then barfs because no
-;; expansion could be found.  We detect this situation and do
-;; something really awful: we have `file-expand-wildcards' return the
-;; original filename if it can't expand anything.  Let's just hope
-;; that this doesn't break anything else.  It is not needed anymore
