In this case the .mozilla dir is one dir deep, so I chose to write the
pattern with "*" because that's the most precise way to specify the
match (even though the current code treats the "*" as "**").  Yes, it
won't match a .mozilla dir at an arbitrary depth in the user's home dir
(in my wildmatch code), but I was assuming that was not needed.

I'm planning to just do some final speed tests and then switch rsync
over to the new wildmatch code.  If anyone has any concerns here, please
let me know.
