Wow, thanks ... this is cool.

Don't call me picky ... but there's the problem (at least if
understand the help for the path option correctly). If a path ends
with ** it searches only for directory names, while * searches only
the direct subdirectories for the given paths.
In vim7 dir/** shows matches both in directory dir itself
*and* in subdirectories. This is better than in 6.4 where
dir/** didn't show matches in dir itself (only in
subdirectories of dir)
