Subject: Is there any chance of getting the oniguruma patch into ruby 1.8.6 for windows

Hi

Is there any chance getting the Oniguruma Patch 2.5.9 into Ruby-1.8.6
for Windows? I believe there are a lot of Applications out there that
still use Ruby 1.8.6 and they want to use Regular Expressions as well
without having to rewrite their complete applications for Ruby 1.9.2

See:
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyinstaller/brows...

The latest Linux Oniguruma Patch works for Ruby 1.8.6 and the latest
Windows Patch works for Ruby 1.8.4.

See these files:
http://dev.ywesee.com/uploads/%24PageName//oniguru...

Also it seems that the Oniguruma Patch supports more regular expressions
then Ruby 1.9.2. does. See this discussion for that:

I am also willing to pay to get this job done. Once it is done, anybody
can use it.

You may contact me on Twitter (zdavatz) or via Email.

Best
Zeno
