Also remember that Linux is case-sensitive, so if you have files
ending in .CFG or .Cfg etc, it will not be found with the '*.cfg'
mask.  To make Find Files case-insensitive, you need to find all
files, convert the resulting filename to lowercase and do a file
extension comparison with 'cfg'. If you find a match, then add it to
some FileList class which you can return to the calling procedure.

For code on how to do this, have a look in the fpGUI Toolkit source
code available on SourceForge. The TfpgFileGrid class in
src/gui/gui_grid.pas unit.
