             Fix For: 1.4, 2.0


Issue for migration from ORO to j.u.regex. There is a small problem here. I 
began the migration mostly because of the double slash issue using lookback 
which was not supported in ORO. This was to prevent the URL schema from being 
reduced to one slash. The current Basic URL Normalizer has this problem 
built-in!

{code}
        // this pattern tries to find spots like "xx//yy" in the url,
        // which could be replaced by a "/"
        adjacentSlashRule = new Rule();
        adjacentSlashRule.pattern = (Perl5Pattern)      
          compiler.compile("/{2,}", Perl5Compiler.READ_ONLY_MASK);     
        adjacentSlashRule.substitution = new Perl5Substitution("/");
{code}

But provides the wrong solution as it touches the schema as well. What to do? 
Migrate to j.u.regex and keep this `feature` intact?
