On platforms where a system library is available, the default is to use
the builtin library for Unicode builds, and the system library otherwise.
It is possible to use the other if preferred by selecting it when building
-the wxWindows.

+Some regex libraries assume that the text given is null terminated, while
+others require the length be given as a separate parameter. Therefore for
+maximum portability assume that {\it text} cannot contain embedded nulls.
+
+When the {\it Matches(const wxChar *text, int flags = 0)} form is used,
+a {\it wxStrlen()} will be done internally if the regex library requires the
+length. When using {\it Matches()} in a loop
+the {\it Matches(text, flags, len)} form can be used instead, making it
+possible to avoid a {\it wxStrlen()} inside the loop.
