FYI, there is an (open) enhancement request for this:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2662 - authz with wildcards

It seems that several patches were created for this, but for some
reason they were never committed. Maybe someone with interest in this
issue should try to take a look at those patches again, bring them up
on the dev list for review, ...

Cheers,
