Follow-up Comment #3:

This was solved for dir.m by introducing a new C++ function __wglob__ which
performs a Windows-like glob.  The same issue came up ot bug #47950, to wit,
should we have glob be system-dependent or not?  If not, then you can solve
this by having code in each and every m-file that checks for ispc() and !
isunix() and then calls __wglob__ or glob appropriately.

Affected functions are:

copyfile
delete
fileattrib
movefile
unpack
pkg/private/install.m
pkg/private/rebuild.m
