Folks,

To me, this seems like the obvious solution.  Include a small regex
implementation as part of the MapServer source and ensure that everything
is renamed so that there is no conflict with system or PHP regex
implementations.  I think there has been some previous discussion from which
this was the conclusion but there just wasn't anyone motivated to implement
the change.

Best regards,
