tre-config.h contains additional defines that their configure puts in
config.h.

We have remapped the POSIX entry points with a tre_ suffix: without
it there was confusion with entry points in OS libraries on some OSes
(e.g. Mac OS X).

Pro tem alloca has been disabled: the declarations used do not work on
Windows, and most likely not on FreeBSD.

The way we compile it, TRE works internally in one of three modes

STR_BYTE, using bytes
STR_MBS , using wchar_t for matching, I/O in MBCS
STR_WIDE, using wchar_t

We've added interfaces tre_regcompb, tre_regexecb and regaexecb to force
STR_BYTE.  Unless forced, bytes are used in a single-byte locale and
wchar_t in a MBCS.  We need to force both for useBytes=TRUE and for
support for UTF-8 encoded strings in a single-byte locale (principally
on Windows).  You do need to ensure that regcomp and regexec use the
same type.

The offsets in the regmatch_t structure are in characters for
STR_WIDE, bytes for the other two modes.

On Windows (MinGW?), iswctype is missing 'blank'.

REG_LITERAL was not matching "" in some cases, hence a change at
line 1652 of tre-parse.c.
