None of the regex.c changes are needed for Windows 64.  The code works
fine without it and the patch does not fix any bugs.  Perhaps regex.c
should be made cleaner, const-wise, but that's an independent issue
and if we want to make that change it be as part of an independent patch.

Actually, it is much simpler than my previous attempt.

MSVC supports const, and so does GCC. So, define unconditionaly 

're_char' to be 'const unsigned char' and avoid the double 'const' 

because of 'const re_char' in various places (why those few const anyway,

given that with gcc, every re_char is already const ?).
