 For the [Yesod scaffolding
 tool](https://github.com/gregwebs/yesod/tree/org) We have a directory
 structure of extra files. The current file glob syntax doesn't recurse
 into directories or recognize files with multiple suffixes. So I am left
 to manually do a find command and list all the files in the cabal file.
 The extra-source-files field needs a real shell glob syntax. This does not
 seem like a hard change to make, but some guidance is needed for the
 approach. I see there is a [glob
 package](http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/Glob/).
