Interestingly enough, Apache2 now uses PCRE for LocationMatch [and other 
Regexp matching]. So, I think it's 100% doable under MP2, and maybe 
under MP1 the regex actions just need to be more general, or not even 
supported. Afterall, it's an optional engine. Only app authors who know 
what they have and where it's running would choose to use it if it fit 
their needs. If I'm never going to use a Regexp handler in my CatApp, 
then there's no worry as the consumer of the custom engine.
