Summary:                    "cmake -E copy" is not working with wildcart, when
full path is specified
Description: 
The copy operation is not support wildcart (star "*") when the full path is
specified. But it is working correctly with "remove.
"cmake -E remove" is not consistent with "cmake -E copy".

With using cmake shell comamnd you could add star to whole path:
   cmake -E remove /Users/warsaw/cos/*.h

But it is not possible to make similar operation with "-E copy":
   cmake -E copy /Users/warsaw/cos/*.h ..
displays "CMakre Error"

But:
   cmake -E copy *.h ..
or:
   cmake -E copy /Users/warsaw/cos/file.h ..

is working correctly.




Steps to Reproduce: 
1.   mkdir  /Users/warsaw/cos/
2.   cd  /Users/warsaw/cos/
3.   touch file.h
4.   cmake -E copy /Users/warsaw/cos/*.h ..

displays "CMakre Error"



Working correctly:
   cmake -E copy *.h ..
   cmake -E copy /Users/warsaw/cos/file.h ..
