Richard, can you provide any more background details on how red/regex was 
behaving that led to changing it?  I don't have a win64 to test on at the 
moment, but am worried that the typedef changes introduces bugs (due to bitwise 
operations within the library) on platforms where sizeof(long) != 
sizeof(ssize_t).  How does the type change get things working -- I presume 
regcomp() or regexec() was failing, but what was the underlying issue?

Cheers!
Sean
