No particular reason other than there is only so many hours in a day and running out of time reading and queuing patches. >> * ab/compat-regex-update (2017-05-12) 3 commits >> - DONTMERGE compat/regex: make it compile with -Werror=int-to-pointer-cast >> - compat/regex: update the gawk regex engine from upstream >> - compat/regex: add a README with a maintenance guide >> >> Update compat/regex we borrowed from gawk.

The tip one is what I did only to see if that is the only reason why Windows build is failing, without knowing Dscho did essentially the same one hours before. I'd prefer to drop it myself, and ask you and Dscho to work the solution out, as I am farther than Dscho to the machinery that can be used to validate the fix ;-)
