This doesn't work because the check in git-compat-util.h only looks
for REG_STARTEND being defined (if it isn't, it #error's out).

That define is not mentioned anywhere else other than in the
compat/regex tree, which is why I used -Icompat/regex to pick up
<regex.h> from there - this was the "easiest" solution for me on
HP-UX 11.

Note that with this inclusion change, the source compiled and linked
fine on HP-UX 11 and git passed its tests, including the regex-based ones.
