Well adding --disable-shared to regex.mk caused the build to fail, but
not before it had generated the .a library correctly.

without --disable-shared the libraries generated are

-rw-r--r-- 1 rshann rshann   225706 Feb 12 12:35 libregex.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rshann rshann      806 Feb 12 12:40 libregex.la
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rshann rshann    10068 Feb 12 12:40 libregex.dll.a

with --disable-shared I get

-rwxr-xr-x 1 rshann rshann      781 Feb 12 12:42 libregex.la
-rw-r--r-- 1 rshann rshann   225706 Feb 12 12:42 libregex.a

Linking against this denemo.exe runs correctly, and the regex matcher is
working (you can test by changing the instrument name on a staff - it
uses regex matching to find the former name).

So (apart from fixing the complaint in the regex build - fortunately it
is not listed as a dependency of denemo.mk so denemo builds against the
broken regex build) we now have everything apart from finding LilyPond
at run time ...
