Problem Compiling libwww on windows 2000

Hi,
I am facing problems compiling the tar ball on win2000 m/c. It gives
problem for regex.h which is not present on my m/c, but what I don't
understand that why is it looking for curses stuff. The config.h file has
#define HAVE_REGEX_H 1 which causes the wwwsys.h to include regex.h and it
causes my build to fail as I don't have that file. What is the right work
around? I am using latest tar ball w3c-libwww-5.4.0.zip from 12th June
re-packaging.
Any type of help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
regards,
Vishal
