Re: C++11: Deprecate Glib::Regex for std::regex

[Krzysztof Kosiński <tweenk pl gmail com>]

std::regex only works correctly on UTF-8 strings if the system has an
UTF-8 locale, and Windows does not have it. The standard C++ library
is on Windows completely broken and unusable - for example, reading
into a wifstream converts to ASCII if the locale is set to "C".
