   All tree walking commands support file selection this way:
   1. short format with ONE directory tree and MANY file name patterns:
      src1dir .cpp .hpp .xml bigbar !footmp
   2. short format with a list of explicite file names:
      letter1.txt revenues9.xls report3\turnover5.ppt
   3. long format with MANY dir trees and file masks PER dir tree:
      -dir src1 src2 !src\save -file foosys .cpp -dir bin5 -file .exe

   * and ? wildcards are supported within filenames. "foo" is interpreted
   as "*foo*", so you can leave out * completely to search a part of a name.
   (Linux users use \* instead of *, and \? instead of ?, or type "sfk"
   in the Linux shell for more infos on wildcard replacement characters.)
   For name start comparison, say "\foo" (finds foo.txt but not anyfoo.txt).
   When you supply a directory name, by default this means "take all files".
   The snapto function also supports option -all, meaning "all text files".

      sfk list mydir                   lists ALL  files of mydir, no * needed.
      sfk list mydir .cpp .hpp         lists SOME files of mydir, by extension.
      sfk list mydir !.cfg             lists all  files of mydir  EXCEPT .cfg
      sfk snapto=a.txt mydir .doc      collect ONLY .doc (which are binaries).
      sfk snapto=a.txt mydir -all .doc collect all text files, AND also .doc

   general options:
      -tracesel tells in detail which files and/or directories are included
                or excluded, and why (due to which user-supplied mask).
      -nosub    do not process files within subdirectories.
      -nocol    before any command switches off color output.
      -quiet    or -nohead shows less output on some commands.
      -hidden   includes hidden and system files and dirs.
