Unicode regex library

[Andrew Kuchling <akuchlin mems-exchange org>]

An oreillynet article (http://www.perl.com/pub/2000/09/sapphire.html)
claims that someone is working on a Unicode-compatible regex engine as
part of glib.  Is this correct?  If so, and if implementation isn't
too far advanced, you might want to look at the Unicode-aware regex
engine in Python 2.0 (Modules/_sre.c in the source distribution).
It's not set up to be compiled as a separate library at the moment,
and the pattern->bytecode is still Python code because no one has
bothered to translate it to C, but those problems can be fixed, and it
would be nice to share code.

Any interest?
