ROX-Filer matches "makefile-distfiles.html" as an HTML. Patterns in the
form "*.ext" do indeed override all others (this is so that extensions can
be placed in a hash table for quick lookup in the common case).

After that, it's longest pattern first, so "makefile*.html" would override
"makefile*".
