Quit Forking Around

With the release of Java 1.4 and the "java.util.regex" package, this project should be depreciated.

After all, volunteers are very busy people and shouldn't be occupied with re-inventing the wheel.

Some people dont wish to use the java regexp package for numerous reasons. And 
people chose to scatch whichever itches they wish. Just because Sun decide to 
implement something doesnt mean it should become the standard.

If you bothered to read the archives you will see numerous discussions on the 
comparisons of the various regexp packages around. Their strengths and 
weaknesses. Alternatives provide and incentive to provide a better product.

my 2 cents
