MakeMaker and TESTS => 't/*.t t/*/*.t'

I'm maintaining a module (Regexp::Common) which has a large set of
tests. Therefore I decided to not put all the test scripts in t/,
but to make subdirectories in t/.

I added "test => {TESTS => 't/*.t t/*/*.t'}" to the call to WriteMakefile
in Makefile.PL, and all worked well. At least, so I thought. It works
fine on Unix, but it seems to fail under Windows. I got the following
report:

    Installing perl extension
    Writing Makefile for Regexp::Common

    Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 7.00.9466
    Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

            C:\Programme\Perl\bin\perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e"
    "test_harness(0, 'blib\lib', 'blib\arch')" t/*.t t/*/*.t
    t/*......t/*.t does not exist
    t/*/*....t/*/*.t does not exist
    FAILED--2 test scripts could be run, alas--no output ever seen
    NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\Programme\Perl\bin\perl.exe' : return
    code '0x2'
    Stop.


It looks like the Microsoft shell doesn't understand wildcards.
Does MakeMaker have a way to solve this? Or is my only way out
of this to list all the test files separately?
