This seems to work (see attachment).

[DISCLAIMER: I make no claims that this is pretty.]

Geert,

I think the problem with filename completion when '--usepkg' is 
specified has to do with the suffix and glob flags when setting $setsma. 
I made a few other changes and was having the same problem (i.e. after 
the dirname was completed, it appended a "/" and added a space; 
interestingly, though, was that when I backspaced, it then completed on 
filenames properly). To get it working, I removed the '-S' flag and 
changed the glob pattern to "*/" (only when '--usepkg' is specified, of 
course).

Maybe one of us should mail this addition to the bash_completion 
maintainer so it can be included in the main package. (He might also be 
able to clean it up a bit. If you'd like to send it in, feel free to 
point the finger at me for the hacks. ;-) )
