Sure.

I have the backport almost prepared (quite some work), but stumble over

configure.in
...
LOC_CHECK_FUNC(regcomp,regex functions,REGEXLIB,,,,,[
LOC_CHECK_LIBS(regex,regcomp,regex,$REGEXLIBPATH,REGEXLIB,,,)
])

autoconf-2.13 refuses to expand that macro. I diff'ed configure.in and
aclocal.m4 but found no differences in this context.
How did you go this expanded in GRASS 7?

thanks
