What he said. I was about to write the same response :)

I *did* search for regex stuff in APR and other existing dependencies
and then settled on fnmatch. httpd has a regex engine but it's not
part of APR for some reason. I wouldn't have a problem using that
in the client if it were available, but it isn't.
