I don't plan to import glibc's 2.3.2 regex at this point. Despite of
vestiges of wide chars support I found it is not properly localized, regex
=66rom grep 2.4.2 is better for our needs and I plan to import it.

Currently there is no local modifications required, but it may be not so=20
for future versions, f.e. grep 2.5 regex is damaged like their glibc one=20
and need efforts to restore some functionality.

As I say, I not plan to import glibc bits yet, docs too. Regex from grep=20
2.4.2 have no docs, of course.
