Log message:
        Speed up mandb's purging functions further, from about 20 seconds to
        about 2 seconds on my i386 laptop, by being more intelligent about
        calling fnmatch().
        
        * src/globbing.c (cache_compare): New function.
        (update_directory_cache): Sort the cache.
        (pattern_compare): New function.
        (match_in_directory): Rather than scanning the whole cache, start
        from a point matching the start of the pattern up to the first
        metacharacter, and stop once this no longer matches.
        
        * src/globbing.c (TEST): Include <libintl.h> and define _() so that
        the test code compiles.
        (main): Set program_name before any calls to usage().
