Oh boy. Maybe the jpeglib author should have used int or char
in the first place, not boolean. All this trouble can't be worth
it.

I re-checked the swftools executables, and I'm pretty sure at least
the lastest version supports globbing.
E.g.,
    png2swf *.png
works nicely on the (otherwise utterly broken) Windows ME installation
on my girlfriend's laptop.

The only program where globbing doesn't work is pdf2swf.exe, as it can handle
only one input and one output file. That should probably be changed.

/opt/xmingw/bin/i386-mingw32msvc-gcc glob.c -o glob.exe
wine glob.exe *.exe
Command line (via GetCommandLine) "glob.exe avi2swf.exe gif2swf.exe glob.exe"
Argv[0] "glob.exe"
Argv[1] "avi2swf.exe"
Argv[2] "gif2swf.exe"
Argv[3] "glob.exe"

Looks o.k. to me.
Also, the program

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

extern int _CRT_glob;

int main (int argc, char* argv[]) {
    printf("%d\n", _CRT_glob);
    return 0;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

returns -1 when compiled with mingw.
