Zane Bitter 797cb67a37 Use PCRE instead of Python's re for RedirectMatch tests
Previously, RedirectMatch rules were evaluated using Python's re regexp
module. However, Apache httpd uses the PCRE library for evaluating
regular expressions,[1] and there are subtle differences between the
Python and PCRE implementations. Using the PCRE library itself (via the
pcre-python binding) provides more representative results, and hence
more confidence to the user that any rules that pass whereto's tests
will work in the same way in a real Apache configuration.
