usage of non-standard REG_STARTEND makes some ports angry

the new version of file uses a non-standard GNU extension to regex, namely 
REG_STARTEND ... looking at the code, it seems like it isnt really required, 
but i gave it like a 5 second glance :)

any way i could convince you to not use this extension ? :)  if not, there's 
some patches floating around to emulate the expected behavior when 
REG_STARTEND does not exist ...
