* 9.1.rc1: release
* Improve behavior of wildcard expansion for msvc executable when
- run from the Windows cmd.exe shell. The behavior is not identical
- to UNIX or to running the mingw executable in that, for msvc,
- wildcard expansion is performed transparently by qpdf.exe itself.
- That means that *.pdf and "*.pdf*" are interpreted identically. If
- you need to specify the name of a file that has a * or ? in its
- actual filename on the Windows CLI with the msvc-built executable,
- you can write the name of the file in another file and use the
- @file syntax to prevent expansion. Fixes #224.

instead of QIntC to convert the value to a signed integer. The
