I've made a test that correctly works to identify Mingw, and I'll send a patch later. However, there are some serious problems with the regex library as it now is. First off, there were several additional files added that were not added to the autotools config. Secondly, even if they're added, nothing compiles with gcc. I worked on it for a while, but I'm close to giving up. So if the idea is to have this library for convenience for mingw/gcc, we might as well go back to the previous one, which at least compiled.
I updated GNU's regex code because it was quite old, as you pointed out. I think it is beneficial to all projects using Sword with the bundled GNU regex to have this code updated, since it was over ten years old.
The additional files do not need to be added to any makefiles or project files. I suppose you could, but it would be counter-productive given their use. (Read regex.c if you don't understand this.) Everything works as a drop-in replacement (without any modifications) in VC++ 2008.
