[Patch] twm: add support for wildcards

In my opinion too, this would be a very helpful feature.  It would be
even perfect if in all places you can specify a window name in a list in
.twmrc you could use regexp notation generally.  (E.g., vtwm has it for
some years probably.)

(Probably all strcmp() calls in LookInList() and GetColorFromList() in
list.c are the starting place to look at.)  :-)
