I am currently looking at the documentation that came with it and may
be able to find out what the differences are.

From the README which is included in the package:

<readme>

  Oniguruma is a regular expression library. The characteristics of this
  library is that different character encoding for every regular expression
  object can be specified.

  Supported character encodings:

  ASCII, ISO 8859-1, ISO 8859-15, UTF-8, EUC-JP, Shift_JIS, Big5

</readme>

For me the big difference is that it carries the Ruby license and not the
GPL.
