Compiling regex-posix on Windows

[Chris Kuklewicz]

I was too busy this weekend and I did not notice this thread until now.

I don't run Windows so I never maintained that build support for the new
regex-posix version.  If someone has it working then I would love to
take a darcs patch.

In order to unblock the Platform release I will try and setup ghc
development on a Virtualbox'd Windows 7, on top of "OS X".
