Comment:

 I agree that supporting wildcards in %includes would be a nice feature. I
 remember looking for code for processing wildcards in files in tor and not
 finding any so this might take some effort to develop.

 If someone wants to take on this, the relevant changes are on
 ./src/or/config.c

 In this file, there is a method config_process_include which is called for
 every %include found and receives the string after %include as first
 argument.
 This method then calls config_get_file_list which is responsible for
 returning a list of files to be processed for that %include line. Note
 that config_get_file_list does not care about recursive includes, it just
 returns a list of files in a folder if the included path was a folder or a
 list with a single file if it was a file.

 So, the only existing method that needs changes to support this is
 config_get_file_list.
