Derek> * Does "UTF-16 internally" mean that it will only work on a UTF-16

Yes. Only UTF-16 buffers are supported.
Derek> * Will the GTK+ team insist on a regex lib that uses UTF-8

It kind of has to. Otherwise you will run into either too much memory
allocation/deallocation or re-entrancy problems with static buffers.
Derek> * Are there any other Unicode-supporting regex libs we can look at?
Although I haven't checked the copyright, IBM's ICU library has one. The
latest version of Perl has the best and most complete implementation I've seen
yet, but it would be tough to untangle it from the surrounding code.
