Hi, Thanks for the information. I didn't knew about libgnurx yet as the software I develop and maintain for Win32 originates from 2006 while libgnurx was only published in 2007. Next to that, libgnurx isn't really well advertised on Google. It doesn't have a real upstream and it's hidden somewhere on MinGW's Download page as a 'User contributed' download. The main issue mentioned in the regex.README file is that the regex.dll of gnuwin32 has a different ABI than the regex.dll of rxspencer. This isn't really an issue for this package as the resulting .dll is called librxspencer-0.dll instead of regex.dll. The headers for this package are also placed in a separate directory, so it shouldn't clash with libgnurx. What to do now? I could drop the review request for rxspencer and start a new one for libgnurx, but as the review of rxspencer is already almost finished I don't know what the right thing to do is..
