USER ERROR!!!

This doesn't work in tcsh for example.

If you are using *.h in a directory which itself doesn't contain
a file that matches, sh doesn't expand the wildcard and sends it
unresolved to the application. tcsh doesn't do this, though, but
instead raises an error message:

	find: No match.

Cd into the include directory itself and try it again. You will
be surprised...
