This is Debian/GNU Linux's prepackaged version of the GNU regex library.

This package was put together by Karl Sackett <krs@debian.org>,
from sources obtained from:

	ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/regex-0.12.tar.gz

It was maintained by James Troup <jjtroup@comp.brad.ac.uk> for a time
but is now orphaned.  The changes were minimal:

- adding support for the Debian package maintenance scheme, by adding
  various debian/* files.
- rerun autoconf to get a configure script with cache support
- added support for $(srcdir) to Makefile.in
- added support for building a shared and static library to Makefile.in
