Heh. Well. Darwin appears to have two mutually-incompatible regex systems, one in regexp.h and the other in regex.h, but they both use the same function names. The regex.h is almost-POSIX and the regexp.h is almost-SYSV. But neither is quite standard. So what we have are two almost-but-not-quite standard systems. I managed to get regexp.h to work with hacking.

I'd be willing to contact them if I knew how.

Theoretically, yes. The question is whether the case-insensitivity problem arises when the gopher tree is on HFS or when /usr/include is on HFS. (I do not have an answer to that question)
