I don't plan to import glibc's 2.3.2 regex at this point. Despite of
vestiges of wide chars support I found it is not properly localized, regex
from grep 2.4.2 is better for our needs and I plan to import it.

Currently there is no local modifications required, but it may be not so 
for future versions, f.e. grep 2.5 regex is damaged like their glibc one 
and need efforts to restore some functionality.

As I say, I not plan to import glibc bits yet, docs too. Regex from grep 
2.4.2 have no docs, of course.
