The codepath in question is unix-only, the question is about user
experience which will be different on unix and win32 with
GLOB_NOSORT removed on unix.

Right now one can't rely on wildcard include ordering, and this is
consistent for all platforms supported. And "listen ... default"
should be used to mark default server if one uses wildcard include
to include multiple server blocks listening on the same some
ip:port. With the GLOB_NOSORT removed the behaviour will be
different on unix (included files will be sorted) and win32
(included files are not guaranteed to be sorted), which is
considered bad.

(I personally think that GLOB_NOSORT should be removed anyway.
I'll talk to Igor again about this.)
