libregex is a regex(3) implementation intended to feature GNU extensions and
any other non-POSIX compliant extensions that are deemed worthy.
These extensions are separated out into a separate library for the sake of
not cluttering up libc further with them as well as not deteriorating the
speed (or lack thereof) of the libc implementation.
libregex is implemented as a build of the libc implementation with LIBREGEX
defined to distinguish this from a libc build. The reasons for
implementation like this are two-fold:
1.) Maintenance- This reduces the overhead induced by adding yet another
regex implementation to base.
2.) Ease of use- Flipping on GNU extensions will be as simple as linking
against libregex, and POSIX-compliant compilations can be guaranteed with a
REG_POSIX cflag that should be ignored by libc/regex and disables extensions
in libregex. It is also easier to keep REG_POSIX sane and POSIX pure when
implemented in this fashion.
Tests are added for future functionality, but left disconnected for the time
being while other testing is done.

if not already defined. This allows building libc from outside of
lib/libc using a reach-over makefile.
A typical use-case is to build a standard ILP32 version and a COMPAT32
version in a single iteration by building the COMPAT32 version using a
reach-over makefile.

so that all these makefiles can be used to build libc_r too.
Added .if ${LIB} == "c" tests to restrict man page builds to libc
to avoid needlessly building them with libc_r too.
Split libc Makefile into Makefile and Makefile.inc to allow the
libc_r Makefile to include Makefile.inc too.
