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.

seems to be no progress at all. Is there still hope that someone takes care
of this issue?
