patch to libregex to fix slow ignore case matching

REG_ICASE matching is mega slow because the current code expands every
character in the search pattern to both cases 
ex a search -i for foobarbaz will generate an equivalent of 
[fF][oO][oO][bB][aA][rR][bB][aA][zZ]
this will prevent the subsequent code to create a "must" pattern and user
Boyer-Moore

the patch fixes it
i run the netbsd testcase against the patched version and it passed all
more details at

onwords
the second patch posted on the forum is the same as here
