That's great!

At least one license of gnu.regexp would need to be the same as
Classpath.  Copyright assignment of gnu.regexp would be helpful
although if you have a number of large contributors that you don't
have good records for it might not be possible.  

The package can be treated as 3rd party, and we can track it in CVS as
such or we can do as Nic suggested and perhaps try to include it
symbolically.
