Re: [PATCH] Support for pickaxe matching regular expressions

Dear diary, on Wed, Mar 29, 2006 at 02:16:33AM CEST, I got a letter
where Petr Baudis [off-list ref] said that...

The regex.h library is a rather stupid interface and I like pcre too, but
with any luck it will be everywhere we will want to run Git on, it being
POSIX.2 and all. I'm not sure if we can expect platforms like AIX to
conform to POSIX.2 or if win32 has regex.h. We might add a flag to
Makefile if there is a portability trouble potential.

We already use regex.h (probably my fault).

Indeed, and since noone complained yet, the portability consideration is
apparently a non-issue.
