I have gotten this to work.  It builds in one pass, and the CLI/CGI
programs use the system regex, and the php_mapscript uses the PHP regex.
It does not require PHP source: just include files.

The only thing left is updating the Makefile.in and configure.in with my
latest changes.  I am unfortunately fried at the moment: I'll finish it
when I have gotten some shuteye.
