This problem is Windows-specific. In every Unix shell "*.css", '*.css" will
be equivalent (they arrive in the app _without_ the quotes). Using *.css
MIGHT be equivalent: most shells will not expand the wildcard unless there
is a match, and if there is no match then they leave it intact (bash has a
configuration option to change this and replace a non-matching wildcard
with an empty string).

The main difference is that in Unix the shell does a surprising amount of
pre-processing of the CLI args before passing them on the app, meaning that
all apps get a consistent view of CLI args. Windows, OTOH leaves the
developer to do it all himself.

The dogfood here is without a doubt the Windows "shell".

i haven't used Windows (outside of customer sites and an occasional game of
Empire at War) since last millennium - i can't suggest much of anything in
that regard except maybe to find something more... well, "more."
