RE: [PHP-DEV] POSIX regex

Why move it to PECL? I agree that PCRE is the preferred way but not having ereg() will break a huge amount of applications for very little gain. We might possibly want to consider disabling by default but not having it in the default package doesn't make real sense. Trying to do browscap.c and pgsql.c with PCRE sounds right (if it's possible which it probably is).
