Voila: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=73286 "Release Name: Current Release: mingw-regex-2.5.1 Notes: This is a port of the GNU regex components from glibc, ported for use in native Win32 applications by Tor Lillqvist. This release comprises three files, all as tar.gz archives: mingw-regex-2.5.1-bin.tar.gz provides the regex functions in the form of a precompiled DLL. mingw-regex-2.5.1-dev.tar.gz provides the import libraries and header files, required for linking user applications to the above DLL. mingw-regex-2.5.1-src.tar.gz provides the full source code, from which the above two packages have been compiled.
