------- Additional Comments from Gavin Barraclough <barraclough at apple.com>
Shame, looks like a couple of test bots have stalled?  r+, since after a day of
waiting the ones that did run are green.
This patch looks good as is, and getting rid of PCRE will be fantastic.  I
think it would probably be even better to try to unify jsc/runtime/RegExp with
WebCore's RegularExpression class (with the product of this merge likely living
in wtf/text?) - whether this is ultimately possible or not, this patch is a
really great step in the right direction.
