correct stuff about wildcards

 Finally, there are a couple of special functions which simplify porting of Unix programs:
- * _wildcard (int * argc, char**argv): Same as in EMX, i.e. it expands it's arguments like a unix shell would do (but OS/2 cmd.exe doesn't), so you typically want to use this when porting a unix command line application. BTW, is there code to try and detect the calling shell, to avoid double expansion when a unix shell is used? I seem to remember that EMX did something like that?
+ * {{{_wildcard (int *argc, char ***argv)}}}: Same as in EMX, i.e. it expands it's arguments like a unix shell would do (but OS/2 cmd.exe doesn't), so you typically want to use this when porting a unix command line application. Instead of adding this to a program, compilation with -Zargs-wild can be used.
