The documentation in autoconf says:
— Macro: AC_ARG_WITH(PACKAGE, HELP-STRING, [ACTION-IF-GIVEN],
[ACTION-IF-NOT-GIVEN])
If the user gave ‘configure’ the option ‘--with-PACKAGE’ or
‘--without-PACKAGE’, run shell commands ACTION-IF-GIVEN. If
neither option was given, run shell commands ACTION-IF-NOT-GIVEN.
This means the third parameter is evaluatated in both cases:
--with-bundled-regex and --without-bundled-regex.
And thus the code was incorrectly turning mutt_cv_regex on for both
cases, skipping the broken regex test further below.
Fix it to properly set mutt_cv_regex. Further below, configure will
check the built-in system regex works if the value is 'no'.
