This is in now. The next step would be to recognize * identifiers so

lyx -e *.lyx -e latex
This could be easily achieved if we made use of more boost::filesystem
functionalities. But that's 1.6 material I guess, unless Georg is
advancing rapidly in its cleanup of filenames.
That is not LyX's business at all. A decent shell will convert *.lyx to a
list of filenames, so LyX will not see the *. I know that that does not
work with command.com on windows (but maybe with cmd.exe?), applications
are expected to expand the * themselves. Therefore this should go into the
wrapper that is used on windows anyway (or do we not use it anymore? I
don't know).
On Mac and linux expanding *.lyx is not needed, so if this really goes into
LyX then it should be done in os::init() in os_win32.C, so that it is well
hidden from the rest.
You're right. I've stopped using linux a long ago :-(
