Is there a way to write a single glob regexp that expands to all lib*.dylib 
EXCLUDING lib*.[0-9]*.dylib, lib*.[0-9]*.[0-9]*.dylib, etc? I think the 
excluded list could be obtained by lib*.[0-9.]*.dylib (assuming the dot isn't a 
wildcard here), is there a better way to get at the list I want than to do 2 
globs and then a list exclusion operation?

with tcl 8.6, one can do the following

   set excludePattern {lib*.[0-9]*.dylib}
   set files [glob -tails -dir /opt/local/lib *.dylib]
   set excludedFiles [lmap f $files {if {[regexp $excludePattern $f]} continue; 
set f}]

The exclude pattern can contains certainly "|" for alternate exclude patterns, 
etc.
all the best
