Done.

In order to 'convince' ;-) plugin authors to switch their argument 
types, I added a warning message if a command defines "file*" in the 
takes_argument member. Otherwise, I fear, most of the plugins won't get 
adapted.

Please note that (as I stated in my initial post) I never ran the test 
suite under Linux, especially ("bzr selftest wildcard Win32Utils").
