14# -------------
15#
16# The idea is to distribute rx.[hc] and regex.[hc] together, for a
17# while. The WITH_REGEX symbol is used to decide which of regex.h or
18# rx.h should be included in the application. If `./configure
19# --with-regex' is given (the default), the package will use gawk's
20# regex. If `./configure --without-regex', a check is made to see if
21# rx is already installed, as with newer Linux'es. If not found, the
22# package will use the rx from the distribution. If found, the
23# package will use the system's rx which, on Linux at least, will
24# result in a smaller executable file.
25#
26# FIXME: This macro seems quite obsolete now since rx doesn't seem to
27# be maintained, while regex is.
