#1699: Add support for wild-card matching for logfiles parameter in build steps

    Type:  enhancement  |      Status:  new      
Priority:  minor        |   Milestone:  undecided
 Version:  0.8.2        |    Keywords:  log      
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 We currently have a set of test steps in our build process that contain
 many test "runners" that process in parallel within the same build step.
 Each test runner outputs its own log and we want to follow them all via
 the waterfall.

 However one issue is that we need to explicitly declare the logs we want
 to follow in the master.cfg when in reality this list is defined
 externally and dynamically. This messy task could be avoided if the build
 step could support wild cards matching for log files.

 ie.


 {{{
 f.addStep(ShellCommand(command=cmd,
     description=['testing'],
     descriptionDone=['test'],
     logfiles={'* output' : '*_test.log'}))
 }}}

 So: "foo_test.log" -> "foo output"

 If I get the chance I might take a look myself... But the question is,
 does this sound like a sensible addition?
