One doesn't '(require-extension posixwin pcre)' but '(use posix  
regex)' The compiler looks for posix.exports, not posixwin.exports.

> posixwin.scm emits posixwin.exports

The exports of posixunix & posixwin have an intersection but also a  
difference. The exports of pcre are a superset of regexunix & pregexp  
(which I think are the same).

I don't think the differences in the exports are really an issue. The  
units are called 'posix' & 'regex' in the manual.

Sorry, Brandon, but I think they must be renamed.
