I have done so; it is attached.  Since in this patch there is still
only one regex module, the rpmatch module once again depends on that,
not the now-nonexistent "hregex" module.

I have also updated regex.m4 to verify that RE_ICASE works.

The glibc version is very similar, and preserves interface
compatibility of course.  The attached patch uses the glibc "regex.h".
