Summary:                    mbregex missing from PHP
Description: 
I'm attempting to migrate an application from blastwave stable to recent
opencsw and I get the following message:
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function mb_ereg_replace

This can be reproduced easily with:
echo '<?php print mb_ereg_replace("a", "b", "lalala\n"); ?>' |
/opt/csw/php5/bin/php

According to phpinfo(), php5 was compiled with --enable-mbregex=shared yet
I can't find any shared library corresponding to mbregex. Has it perhaps
been forgotten in the packaging. I do have mbstring and it is enabled in
the configuration file. On the old installation, phpinfo() reports a bare
--enable-mbregex.

A colleague of mine worked around the problem by recompiling the exact same
version of PHP to get the mbregex module. He can't remember what he had to
do with the configure options but he did somehow get it to build the
module. This was a clean build without any of the gar stuff.
