gnuregex is another beast it is used in at more places:
- GNU diff
- GNU grep
- BSD grep
- gdb
- kgdb
- gdbtui

That makes it more a candidate for privatellib, but private lib needs to be
fixed first, it has a couple of problems so far:
- it installs .so, .a and _p.a files while it shouldn't
- they are listed in bsd.libnames.mk so exposed to any bsd.*.mk users when it
  should only be internal of to out build system
- when a part of the system tries to link to a privatelib it links to
  ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib/private/${LIB}.so when it should link to the path on OBJDIR
  because the .so is not supposed to be installed into the target.

We need a framework internal to the build system (aka not installed in base)
that list the privatelib/internallib (looks at the ugly thing I have done in
gdb/Makefile.inc) and we need to link to the .so/a which it in the OBJDIR not in
the DESTDIR.

I have no idea how to do that right now (Warner any idea coming into your mind?)
