Comment (by apl-haiku):
I have modified the `libgnuregex` target to produce a shared library build
product. This seems to then work fine. I added a brief `ReadMe.md` file
to help anybody else who is caught out with this problem.
I then noticed there were some issues with the validation of the BUrl.
For example, it seemed to be tolerant of trailing whitespace -- something
I was trying to avoid. It also included the port in the host field in
some cases which is also not quite right.
I've therefore modified the parsing logic in `BUrl` a bit to tighten it
up. At the same time, I have added some automated testing to cover
scenarios around those changes so that it is safer to make further changes
in this class.
I was able to reproduce the problem Axel mentioned on Ubuntu; that should
be sorted out now and has been tested on GCC 5.3.1.
On the MacOS-X platform, the operating system makes `.DS_Store` files all
over the place so I added a `.gitignore` entry for those at the top level.
The commit message has been adjusted as suggested by Axel.
I hope it is good to go!
