Correct.  This should probably also change as it surprised me when I initially 
found it.  Enable-wildcards only works with scp, not with any of the other 
subsystems.  If we're going to allow it -- it should be allowed on all 
subsystems that support it.

The one thing that I need to fix with respect to wildcards is that we need 
configure to tell us how many command line arguments are allowed for the given 
platform / OS, otherwise we have a random guess which is likely incorrect.
