Regular expressions with glib?

[Eike Lange <eike lange uni-essen de>]

Hi Folks!

I would like to contribute some regular expression code to GLib.
This code uses "regexec(3)" and "regcomp(3)" to do all the stuff with 
regular expressions (requires regex.h).

My questions is, whether I should base this code on "GString" or
"gchar *" (requires string.h)  and if you think this contribution 
could be useful.

This code could the be used in a widget like a line editor
   gtk_entry_new_with_regexp (...)
which is worth to invent, IMHO.

Eike
