When I was last looking at regular expressions for GLib (which resulted in the current eggregex code), the first decision was to go for Perl regular expression, rather than posix. That naturally leads to PCRE. The main gripe with PCRE was (and is) that it had (and probably still has) relatively limited Unicode support. And it brings its own implementation of the necessary Unicode data, instead of using the GLib one.
