I'm not sure. In my quick inspection into V8 about a month ago, I didn't pay 
attention to the RE code.

However, I understand that V8 automatically compiles the RE straight into 
native code, which means the V8 infrastructure and assembler must be present. 
At the very least, this is going to be a large duplication of code between V8-
JS and V8-RE.
