> RAT CLI uses two different wildcard syntaxes, neither of which agree with the Ant/Maven syntax.
> For the -E option (expressions read from a file), it uses RegexFileFilter which uses java.util.regex.Pattern syntax.
> For the -e option (expression provided on command-line), it uses WildcardFileFilter, whose Javadoc says:
> "The wildcard matcher uses the characters '?' and '*' to represent a single or multiple wildcard characters. This is the same as often found on Dos/Unix command lines."
> Ant and Maven syntax is similar to the -e syntax, except that they use '**' to mean zero or more directories.
> RAT CLI should be consistent, and should use Ant/Maven style syntax.
