Re: Proposal patch for copyfile.m for octave for windows

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

If the glob function accepts '\', the problem will be solved soon.
I have used the glob+fnmatch library downloaded from David's site and built 
libraries under the
MinGW+Msys system.

Anyway I look around the source of glob.

Thanks!!

Temporally I avoid this problem,  modifying the copyfile.m as,

77:    ## Protect the file name(s).
78:    f1 = glob (f1);
 |
 V
77:    ## Protect the file name(s).
78:    f1 = glob (cellfun(@(x) strrep(x,"\\","/"), f1,'UniformOutput', 0));

but it is obviously mere a tentative solution only for pkg install.

Regards

Tatsuro
