Comment (by petej):

 For what it's worth, in the interim, I use things like the following.

 If cygwin is not installed, then in a Windows cmd window:
 {{{
   bbackupquery "list -odstr" quit | findstr /r "\.doc$"
   bbackupquery "list -odstr" quit | find ".doc"
 }}}
 Or if I'm lucky and cygwin is installed, in a cygwin window:
 {{{
   bbackupquery "list -odstr" quit | grep "\.doc$"
 }}}
 I always have to flail around to escape or quote spaces in path names, but
 I eventually get it to work, and then promptly forget to document what I
 did.
