Could our recent livecheck regex issues (where regexes that we
thought worked before suddenly are requiring additional escaping)
be due to r26041?

The log message reads "Fix livecheck to properly de-escape
livecheck.url" and the revision does indeed do that. But it also
changes the processing of livecheck.regex without explaining why.
Apparently, yes. I thought the amount of backslash escaping would
be the same, but what I didn't realize was that the join command
does a level of backslash interpretation. I changed it because we
should avoid using even where we don't need it. Also since
livecheck.regex really is a list using join is better than concat.
I'll bet that's iPhone's incredible word substitution there. "Did you
mean 'even'?" "No, blast it, I typed 'eval' and I meant 'eval.'"
Anyway, the solution is to add the -nobackslashes switch to subst.
This should restore handling of escapes to the former behavior.
Please go ahead and do it for me since I'm at work and don't have a
MacPorts checkout handy.
