* dir.c: FNM_PERIOD is obsoleted and FNM_DOTMATCH is introduced

  instead, which has the opposite meaning of FNM_PERIOD.

* dir.c: Dir::glob now accepts optional FNM_* flags via the second
  argument, whereas Dir::[] doesn't.

+: Dir::glob
 
-  Rewrote to fix some bugs and complete features.
-    - Accept options with the colon in the first argument;
-      getopts("a:bcd:") is equivalent to getopts("bc", "a:", "d:").
-    - Do not discard the argument that caused an error.
-    - Do not discard '-', which commonly stands for stdin or stdout.
-    - Allow specifying a long option with a value using '='.
-      (command --long-option=value)
-    - Stop reading options when it meets a non-option argument.
+  Now accepts optional FNM_* flags via the second argument, whereas
+  Dir::[] doesn't.

+  Localism is FNM_DOTMATCH which has the opposite meaning of the
+  commonly known FNM_PERIOD, which does not exist in Ruby.

   e.g.
 
-    # exclude files matching "*.bak".
-    files.reject! {|fn| File.fnmatch?("*.bak", fn) }
+    # exclude files matching "*.bak" case-insensitively.
