Synopsis: Compatibility from from 1.2.X to 1.3 with <Files>

State-Changed-Why:
Ken he's saying that <Files> doesn't behave the same way between
1.2 and 1.3, and he's right.  In 1.3 the wildcard patterns
were changed so that they follow sh-like rules and * doesn't
match /.  Unfortunately <Files> has always matched against the
full pathname.  I believe that is what we should change --
<Files> should match the basename only.  Then we document this
change in the upgrading document.
