Re: execcmd() reordering

[Peter Stephenson <pws@xxxxxx>]

One extra simplification:  the special handling for wild cards in
cancd(), which handles autocd, can now be removed, since this now
happens after globbing.

I didn't realise the problem with backgrounding recursive globs
before, since I've never tried it.  I can't think of a way round other
than using a subshell.  Bummer.  (Interruption is definitely OK,
though.)
