regex-posix doesn't support UTF8. Because regex-posix uses POSIX
regex. So this problem can't fixed by only correct UTF8 en & de-coder.


If someone is interested in suppourting UTF8, I recommend to
use oniguruma.

http://www.geocities.jp/kosako3/oniguruma/

Oniguruma also supports UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE,
etc .... And it is portable, it's available both on Unix and
Windows.

So I think it is best regex C library to choose backend.
