That's great, I was thinking about you yesterday, and wondering
whether you were still able to help ;-)

There's support in the bug system for "I'm looking at it" :
send a mail to control@bugs.kde.org with
todo NNNNN bedy.
Ah, you need to add "bedy" to bugs/TODOlist in CVS.

Yes, definitely.

Since I remember that you helped with the regexp support, I have two
questions for you:
* someone suggests that libpcre should be made mandatory, to save people
from buggy websites due to bad regexp support. See #30681 for the discussion.
I am personnally fine with the current solution though (people who compile from
source see the message at the end of configure, and others rely on the packagers).

* I implemented support for case-insensitive regexps yesterday.
"global" seems to be implemented too (but out of RegExp, so maybe we can remove
the flag from there).
What's missing is support for "multiline". man regcomp gave me a headache,
so I didn't see how to implement it ;).
