I have started playing with Oniguruma a little.

My first two questions deal with building it with 1.8.

1. One of the five patches failed and I had to apply it  
manually. Can we get this fixed in some way that will  
work for all 1.8.x?

2. Would it be possible/practical/desirable to distribute  
Oniguruma as part of 1.8, built optionally? Something  
like ./configure --with-oniguruma ?

Thanks,  
Hal
