Why didn't you say that earlier? :)

Here's a RFC patch series that uses the gawk regex engine from the gawk-devel branch of gawk CVS.

It compiles on Linux/FreeBSD and Solaris, with only a single warning on FreeBSD due to an unused variable (upstream bug).

  compat/regex: use the regex engine from gawk for compat
  compat/regex: hacks to get the gawk regex engine to compile within
    git
  t/t7008-grep-binary.sh: un-TODO a test that needs REG_STARTEND
