I tried to see if the Glib regex could be used instead and AFAICT Glib
2.14 or above has regex, but I can't tell what version of Glib Geany
needs, the config only tests for GTK2.8 and I can't find anywhere
which Glib it needs.  Note Glib version not necessarily == GTK
version, my system has GTK 2.17 and Glib 2.21.
