Right, that part is easy; we do not even have to touch compat/regex.c,
because we already have such a knob in the Makefile (NO_REGEX), and
autoconf just needs to tweak that knob.
My question was whether we could do it without running a separate
compile (via autoconf or via the Makefile), and I think the answer is
"no".
