   (apply #'call-process "find.exe" nil
          (get-buffer-create "output")
          nil
          (list "c:/emacs-lisp/old/"
                "-name"
                (shell-quote-argument "*.el" )
                ))

gives nothing in the "output" buffer and returns 0.

   (apply #'call-process "find.exe" nil
          (get-buffer-create "output")
          nil
          (list "c:/emacs-lisp/old/"
                "-name"
                "m*.el"
                ))

gives the correct output and returns 0.

   (apply #'call-process "find.exe" nil
          (get-buffer-create "output")
          nil
          (list "c:/emacs-lisp/old/"
                "-name"
                "*.el"
                ))

gives the error "paths must precede expressions" and returns 1.

   (apply #'call-process "find.exe" nil
          (get-buffer-create "output")
          nil
          (list "c:/emacs-lisp/old/"
                (shell-quote-argument "-name")
                (shell-quote-argument "*.el" )
                ))

matches all files (not only *.el) and returns 1.
