One can find files that live below the current directory via

	ls **/README

but how can one look for files in the parent, grand-parent, ...
directories?

For example, suppose that the file /a/README exists and the current
directory is /a/b/c/d/e. Then, I'd like

	ls .../README

to glob expand to ../../../README.

Any suggestions?
