Thanks David (especially for pointing me to the newer user guide).
Mihael, would the "swift/0.95-RC5" version contain the FilesysMapper that accepts the extended glob patterns?

You may see some warnings about deprecated use of @ in front of functions, and you will see logs going into a run directory named run001, run002, etc instead of going to your current working directory. There's more information about this and the other new (and optional) configuration changes at http://swiftlang.org/guides/trunk/userguide/userguide.html#_configuration. Please let me know if you have any issues.
