You can use the 'for' command in a windows command shell to get around
the wildcard issue (running flac once for each filename), or use a
'real' shell.  With cygwin, you can run bash (or your favorite *nix
shell) on windows, and then wildcards (and *MANY* other scripting
features) will work as they should. :)

I think some of the windows shell replacements (4NT and the like) may
also support proper wildcarding, pipelines, redirects, and other
features, but it's been long enough since I've used any that I don't
recall for sure.
