[Haskell-cafe] Re: regex-compat on latest Haskell Platform

[Chris Kuklewicz]

I maintain the regex-posix package, so I feel the need for a quick post.

I am glad the recent patch I accepted means the hackage version is
working on Windows.

If there is any additional things that need to be done with regex-*
please let me know.

Cheers,
  Chris.
