Re: EggRegex

["Matthias Clasen" <matthias clasen gmail com>]

When I was last looking at regular expressions for GLib (which
resulted in the current eggregex code), the first decision was to
go for Perl regular expression, rather than posix. That naturally
leads to PCRE. The main gripe with PCRE was (and is) that it
had (and probably still has) relatively limited Unicode support.
And it brings its own implementation of the necessary Unicode
data, instead of using the GLib one.
