     DESCRIPTION
          This utility procedure determines whether a string matches a
          given  pattern.  If it does, then Tcl_StringMatch returns 1.
          Otherwise Tcl_StringMatch returns 0.  The algorithm used for
          matching  is the same algorithm used in the ``string match''
          Tcl command and is similar to the algorithm used by  the  C-
          shell  for file name matching;  see the Tcl manual entry for
          details.
