In case you're looking for things that match the (Bourne) shell's
pattern matching rather than more elaborate ed/vi/grep style regular
expression matching (Henry Spence actually approximates egrep regular
expressions), I wrote such code years ago which I am still willing to
give away for free, no strings attached.  I recently fixed it to
support the System V-ism of [!...] to match any character not in the
set.
