I was not precise in that message; Steps I took were slightly different
from FAQ#5.14; here's what I did:

 . Removed htlib/regex.c
 . Removed htlib/regex.h
 . Removed references to regex.o in htlib/Makefile (in 3.1.6-1111-1)
 . Removed references to regex.h in htlib/Makefile (in 3.2.0b4-1111-1)

Also attached is a list of error and warning lines in the config.log of
3.1.6-111101, just in case;)
