Glob exclude broken

[michel]

Excluding files from a set does not work. Let's assume we have a directory with two .cpp files (helloworld.cpp and excludefile.cpp). The following line

ECHO [ glob *.cpp : excludefile.cpp ] ;

will output

helloworld.cpp excludefile.cpp

although "excludefile.cpp" has been excluded.

I have a workaround for this problem:

import set ;
ECHO [ set.difference [ glob *.cpp ] : excludefile.cpp ] ;

will output

helloworld.cpp

only.

Tested and works find for me with the current trunk version of Boost Jam (3.17 will be the next release).
