Subject: matches -> regexp ?

Hello,

this is not exactly a ruby problem, i hope people will not consider
this spamming.

does anyone know of any reference or an algorithm to build a regular
expression (a finite automaton, in general) that would match a given
set of strings? i of course mean a regexp that would match just the
given strings, and not any other. so solutions like /^.*$/ are not
acceptable ;-)

thanks
konstantin
