I suspect that it's going to be difficult, the 2.x version of the library
is still available from my web pages
(http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/john_maddock/regexpp.htm), and
should support SunPro and HP aCC compilers, both of which *may* be too
broken to use with the new library.

If you want to send me the error message list do so - it may be something
that I've seen before and already know how to work around - just don't
count on it :-)
