/* Simple front end to regular expressions.

   This is a simple front end to make the usage of regular expressions
   easier. The routine tests whether the pattern provided in 'pattern'
   matches the text in 'buffer' or not. Comparisons are done
   case-insensitive, using the extended regular expression language.

   RETURNS: If the pattern matches, TRUE is returned. Otherwise the
   routine will return FALSE.

   NOTE: The error handling is somewhat relaxed... well, don't use the
   routine if you need error handling.
