Support glob patterns in `environmentPaths` about hard-source-webpack-plugin HOT 4 CLOSED

I was thinking about that myself. I'll probably pop out a version with this some time today.

It's been mentioned in #7 and I tried to add some clarity in the ReadME's cacheDirectory option info, make sure you have a cacheDirectory in your webpack configs for each different configuration. HardSource can't determine to invalidate its cache if you build with a different config just invalidate for when the config changes.

Yeah, I saw that PR. Thanks for explaining that. We start with a clean slate for production builds anyway, so the cache doesn't really come into play. I guess that means we don't actually have to list all those webpack config files though.

Thanks for a great tool btw, it's been desperately needed by the webpack community.

@trotzig After see-sawing for a while I figured I'm not going to implement this. There are some ways to work around instead. If your configs are in a directory just add that directory to the environmentPaths.directories option. The new configHash option can also be used to consider different webpack config changes on the file or during runtime.

Okay, thanks for circling back!
