See WHATSNEW for change listing.

installation notes:
--------
Read the comments at the beginning of Makefile before running.

Utils.h contains some things that just might have to be modified on
some systems, as well as a nested include (ugh) of <assert.h>.

The "fake" directory contains quick-and-dirty fakes for some header
files and routines that old systems may not have.  Note also that
-DUSEBCOPY will make utils.h substitute bcopy() for memmove().

After that, "make r" will build regcomp.o, regexec.o, regfree.o,
and regerror.o (the actual routines), bundle them together into a test
program, and run regression tests on them.  No output is good output.

"make lib" builds just the .o files for the actual routines (when
you're happy with testing and have adjusted CFLAGS for production),
and puts them together into libregex.a.  You can pick up either the
library or *.o ("make lib" makes sure there are no other .o files left
around to confuse things).

Main.c, debug.c, split.c are used for regression testing but are not part
of the RE routines themselves.

Regex.h goes in /usr/include.  All other .h files are internal only.

  MODIFICATED LISTS IN THIS CUBRID PROJECT
  
  This regex library (written by Henry Spencer) is modified to suit 
  our needs. Belows are modified lists.

  - changed the default memory manager (malloc/realloc/free) to CUBRID's 
    db_private_alloc/db_private_realloc/db_private_free

  - renamed the library's exported functions, flags and structs 
    so they will not conflict in any way with the ismplementation from libc

  - rewritten the build system using autotools; integrated it with CUBRID's

  This external library should be built using "noinst_LTLIBRARIES"
  to statically be included in libcascci.a
