No luck with that version either. First it complained about the
absence of HsRegexPosixConfig.h, and then failed when compiling
Wrap.hsc (see below). This can be cured by putting MinGW's regex.h and
libregex.a into $GHC_DIR/mingw/{include, lib}, but then I get the
aforementioned runtime error when trying to actually use
Text.Regex.Posix functions.
