Now that I've applied the patch, this part has come to my attention
which I blindly skipped when I looked at it the first time.

This is, of course, nasty and ugly and should be fixed by compiling
the regexp at the proper point in time by either getting the user to
do it and/or using compiler macros at the right spots or perhaps by
other methods.

All that said, it does work with minimal disruption so I'm gonna keep
it in there and expect a sweeeeeet ammendment patch at some point.
