I plan to import new version of gnu regex > into /usr/include/gnu/ with /posix subdir, etc. Using /usr/include/gnu > allows us to not change gnu sources, i.e. regex.h -> gnuregex.h I'll be adding back gnuregex.h then for 5.x. The header should NOT go away mid-branch like this. Ports may depend on it, other 3rd party software may depend on it. We can have a gnuregex.h wrapper while still not changing the GNU sources. Your change is well welcomed, but we must keep some compatability with the past. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org)
