No problemo, I just changed it :)
I can reproduce this here - definitely a bug.
A suspect the wildcard expansion happens in the "bootstrap" executable -
that's the one you see as the result of the packing.
The script is actually run by a special purpose perl interpreter
that is invoked by the "bootstrap" executable.
Probably expansion is done by MingW libraries before
"bootstrap" main() is entered.
I'll do some digging.
Cheers, Roderich
