========================================================================

Since Cygwin 1.3.7, the Cygwin API contains the POSIX regex calls.

For that reason, the "regex" package is no longer needed, except other
packages depend on it.

The only package in the Cygwin net distribution which was dependent of
"regex" was OpenSSH.  This isn't any longer true with OpenSSH-3.0.2p1-5.

For that reason, I will remove the regex package in 2 weeks from today.

========================================================================

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  cygwin AT sources DOT redhat DOT com .  I would appreciate
if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin
in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
