*.g?  In v3?  This doesn't work for me in 2.x; should
it?

Beyond that, for the scenario I gave above I would
typically make my desired output directory my current
directory and process the files one-by-one.  But since
Java doesn't have a CD (actually you can modify
"user.dir" but that's not such a good idea) it makes
it hard to do this in a single VM.
