The regex library was a big fat disappointment:

  - Cannot apply regex across more than one line.
  - Only matches zero terminated strings.

The latter restriction means it's no good for matching against a part of
string.  Come on guys, I thought Unix was designed by computer scientists,
not schoolchildren.

OK, next step is to just hand code it.  If you want a job done properly...
