Another way would be to do what used to be done, and simply keep separate copies of regex.[ch] in emacs, merging back and forth with the official gnulib copies as necessary. If changes to regex.[ch] occur somewhat rarely, I'd say the latter method is better. -Miles -- `Cars give people wonderful freedom and increase their opportunities.
