search and replace loop example (java.util.regex -> org.apache.regexp)

[Kevin Rodgers]

The Matcher.appendReplacement method has a great example of how to
efficiently replace matched text in a loop:

        Pattern p = Pattern.compile("cat");
        Matcher m = p.matcher("one cat two cats in the yard");
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        while (m.find()) {
            m.appendReplacement(sb, "dog");
        }
        m.appendTail(sb);
        System.out.println(sb.toString());

(see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/regex/Matcher.html)

What's the corresponding code using the RE class?  Should Regexp include
a corresponding example in its documentation?

(see http://jakarta.apache.org/regexp/apidocs/org/apache/regexp/RE.html)
