[More lists added to get a wider audience]

I didn't get a clear feeling about what people wanted wrt this.  I saw
three people propose three versions of regex, not much to go on.  Is
this a big deal?  Will it really get used by everyone who currently
has their own regex?  Is it important to try to use a BSD-licensed
regex to minimize future problems?

The two contenders seem to be a modified GNU regex and the
ever-popular Henry Spencer's regex.  Does anyone have any strong
opinions for either of these, or against any regex in libiberty at
all?
