I think my typing didn't follow the speed of my thoughts. So let me elaborate 
a bit:

Step 1: qregexp in QtCore, where it is today
We do the cleanups of the APIs as I suggested

Step 2: qregexp.cpp moves to a separate lib, still inside qtbase
We verify the non-qtbase modules that require QRegExp and we decide whether 
they'll use QRegExp or they'll move to PCRE. One example of not moving is 
QtScript.

Step 3: qregexp.cpp moves out of qtbase
We need to keep a copy inside qmake
