Not any objection but some questions/comments.
With the QT3's enhanced regex's I believe that KRegExp is obsolete and needs 
to be removed for KDE 3. It was a clever hack to get some compatability with 
perl style regex's, but it's time has come an gone. 

I would very much like to see the dependancy of libpcre replaced with QT's 
regex's (if that is possible and not too hard) as we won't have to depend on
another "3rd" party library.
