My personal idea on this is to: enable regex in Unix and disable it on
Windows.

We all use Unix/Linux and regex is really usefull. I think not having

Windows will not do any more harm that it is doing now (not having it at
all)
for consistency and to avoid maintenance problems, i would like wget to
have the same behavior on windows and unix. please, notice that if we
implemented regex support only on unix, windows binaries of wget built
with cygwin would have regex support but native binaries wouldn't. that
would be very confusing for windows users, IMHO.
I hope wget can get conection cache,
this is planned for wget 1.12 (which might become 2.0). i already have
some code implementing connection cache data structure.
URL regex
this is planned for wget 1.11. i've already started working on it.
and advanced mirror functions (sync 2 folders) in the near future.
this is very interesting.
