/*
 * This is a regular expression library that implements a subset of Perl RE.
 * Please refer to http://slre.sourceforge.net for detailed description.
 *
 * Usage example (parsing HTTP request):
 *
 * struct slre	slre;
 * struct cap	captures[4 + 1];  // Number of braket pairs + 1
 * ...
 *
 * slre_compile(&slre,"^(GET|POST) (\S+) HTTP/(\S+?)\r\n");
 *
 * if (slre_match(&slre, buf, len, captures)) {
 *	printf("Request line length: %d\n", captures[0].len);
 *	printf("Method: %.*s\n", captures[1].len, captures[1].ptr);
 *	printf("URI: %.*s\n", captures[2].len, captures[2].ptr);
 * }
 *
 * Supported syntax:
 *	^		Match beginning of a buffer
 *	$		Match end of a buffer
 *	()		Grouping and substring capturing
 *	[...]		Match any character from set
 *	[^...]		Match any character but ones from set
 *	\s		Match whitespace
 *	\S		Match non-whitespace
 *	\d		Match decimal digit
 *	\r		Match carriage return
 *	\n		Match newline
 *	+		Match one or more times (greedy)
 *	+?		Match one or more times (non-greedy)
 *	*		Match zero or more times (greedy)
 *	*?		Match zero or more times (non-greedy)
 *	?		Match zero or once
 *	\xDD		Match byte with hex value 0xDD
 *	\meta		Match one of the meta character: ^$().[*+?\
