I definitely agree with you here. The lack of (easily available)
documentation for globbing expressions is quite a problem and should be one
of the things with the highest priority. I usually reference the CMake 2.6
documentation on the official website and I expect everything to be
centralized and consolidated so that I (as a user of CMake) can reliably
find all of the information I need in one place.
