regexp with binary strings

[Aaron VanDevender]

Does anyone know of a good way to use regular expressions on binary 
strings? There doesn't seem to be a good scheme reason not to have this 
functionality, its just that as implemeneted regexp-exec ala ice-9 is 
implemented by passing a C style string to the POSIX regex routines, and 
its looking for a null terminated C string. The POSIX routines won't match 
anything to the right of the first null.
