I strongly urge this also.  Perl-compatible regular expressions are
pretty standard these days, and as for being a dependency, it's easy to
package PCRE (which has a BSD license) with Q -- you'd want to do that
under Windows anyhow.  There is good UTF-8 support, and both native and
Posix-compatible APIs are available.

See http://www.pcre.org for more details.
