This thread inspired me to google for a POSIX to PCRE converter. I found a thread from this list from 2002:
http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=103625548402350&w=2 Ilia proposed a patch that would replace the ereg library with code that would allow an ereg userland call to be processed with the PCRE library (if I've understood the 2002 post correctly). I'm not complaining about dropping ereg nor taking a position on whether many or few would complain about dropping ereg. I just wanted to point out some past work that might be applicable lest someone start from scratch.
