I know ctags has a bundled GNU regex library but I think it only falls back to 
it when GNU regex isn't present in the system (the native windows msvc build I 
guess). But for Windows we use msys2 where I'd suspect it would be present and 
the Mac build uses jhbuild to build all typical linux dependencies so I think 
it's there too. So do we actually need to bundle GNU regex?
