FVWM: Matching windows with * in it's name

Hello all,

I've found a problem with selecting windows which name/res/class/icon
contains a literal *.
I've looked in the source code, and if I understand it function
matchWildcards from libs/wild.c use every * as a wildcard, so there is no
chance to match only a literal *.
I think I can patch it to use ** as a literal *, but I'm not sure if
it's a good way of resolving this problem.

PS. Just a reminder: Some time ago I've send a patch to fvwm-workers
adding new test condition named Compare for comparing two values (this
helps saving process creation just for a simple comarision).
Is there any chance that this will be joined into fvwm? ;-)

PS.2. Sorry for my english... ;-)
