+/*
+ * Some notes:
+ *
+ * - This is a very simple regex library (read: return a match if some string
+ *   matches some regex).  It is probably not POSIX (if there are a POSIX or
+ *   other standard) compatible.
+ *
+ * - I primarily wrote it to _not_ use glibc type regex functions, in case we
+ *   might want to use it in code that have to be linked agaist klibc, etc.
+ *
+ * - It really is not optimized in any way yet.
+ *
+ * - Supported operators are:
+ *
+ *     '.', '?', '*', '+'  - So called 'wildcards'
+ *     '[a-z]', '[^a-z]'   - Basic 'lists'.  Note that 'a-z' just specify that
+ *                           it supports basic lists as well as sequences ..
+ *                           The '^' is for an inverted list of course.
+ *     '^', '$'            - The 'from start' and 'to end' operators.  If these
+ *                           are not used at the start ('^') or end ('$') of the
+ *                           regex, they will be treated as normal characters
+ *                           (this of course exclude the use of '^' in a 'list').
+ *
+ * - If an invalid argument was passed, the functions returns 0 with
+ *   'regex_data-match == 0' (no error with no match) rather than -1.  It may
+ *   not be consistant with other practices, but I personally do not feel it is
+ *   a critical error for these types of functions, and there are debugging you
+ *   can enable to verify that there are no such issues.
+ *   
+ * - __somefunction() is usually a helper function for somefunction().  I guess
+ *   recursion might be an alternative, but I try to avoid it.
+ *
+ * - In general if we are matching a 'wildcard' ('*', '+' or '?'), a 'word'
+ *   (read: some part of the regex that do not contain a 'wildcard' or 'list')
+ *   will have a greater 'weight' than the 'wildcard'.  This means that we
+ *   will only continue to evaluate the 'wildcard' until the following 'word'
+ *   (if any) matches.  Currently this do not hold true for a 'list' not
+ *   followed by a 'wildcard' - I might fix this in future.
