The Emacs Wiki page OrgMode lists this possibility

    (setq org-agenda-files (file-expand-wildcards "~/org/*.org"))

I guess another possibility would be that *directories* could
be members in org-agenda-files and would be dynamically
expanded to all .org files in that directory....  I don't want to
loose the ability to add individual files in different locations
to the list.
