1,2) most of the dbghelp code will be of no use if no regex support is
present
3) doesn't exist to my knowledge
4) I don't see a reason to clutter wine's code with that
*** new option *** 5) use a regex lib for mingw... that work(ed) just fine

we could be a bit more verbose in mingw configuration for this case
