[Development] Regular expression libraries for QRegExp

[lars.knoll at nokia.com]

Hi Zoltan,

Great to hear from you. UTF16 support would be a basic requirement for us
using it in Qt. We don't really need wchar_t support though.

Our main issue seem to be timing then. We currently have the opportunity
of changing API to some extend before we freeze down things for Qt 5
again. Thus we'd need something relatively soon to be able to use it for
5.0.

Cheers,
Lars
