It really isn't a problem with Regex's config, but a problem with FreeBSD 
3.4: the libraries have no wide character support. Regex handles this 
properly by not building any of the wide character support, but a testcase 
such as wregress will always fail on the platform through no fault of regex. 
wide_posix_api_check (both C and C++ versions) will also fail consitently on 
FreeBSD 3.4.
