Gnulib has a regex library.

But that won't happen, because that's not part of MinGW's mission. All
MinGW is trying to do is provide a free software toolset for building
native Windows programs - which at runtime will link to the standard set
of DLLs that M$ provides. Those DLLs don't provide regex, so the MinGW
header files don't provide regex either.
