Comment (by duncan):

 Done, though not heavily tested:

 {{{

   * Add simple file name globbing (*) to data-files and extra-source-files
 }}}

 I've not added it to `c-sources`. We can change that if we think it's
 important.

 For example in `happs-tutorial.cabal`:
 {{{
 Extra-Source-Files:
     runServer.sh
     templates/*.st
     static/tutorial.css
     static/HAppSTutorialLogo.png
 }}}

 which is considerably neater than the previous long list.
