-# The idea is to distribute rx.[hc] and regex.[hc] together, for a while.
-# The WITH_REGEX symbol (which should also be documented in acconfig.h)
-# is used to decide which of regex.h or rx.h should be included in the
-# application. If `./configure --with-regex' is given (the default), the
-# package will use gawk's regex. If `./configure --without-regex', a
-# check is made to see if rx is already installed, as with newer Linux'es.
-# If not found, the package will use the rx from the distribution.
-# If found, the package will use the system's rx which, on Linux at least,
-# will result in a smaller executable file.
