Thanks for this contribution.   Since you have already completed a
copyright assignment for Findutils, I was able to simply apply your
patch directly.

I also needed to make an additional change to ensure that the
regression test suite still passed after the gnulib update, since the
gnulib update also contained a change to the semantics of the awk,
gnu-awk and posix-awk regular expression types.  In order to avoid
there being an intermediate commit in which the regression tests did
not pass, I aggregated your change with the regexprops.texi fix into a
single commit, and I've attached the resulting patch to this email.
The patch has already been applied to the master (i.e. 4.5.x) branch.

Thanks again for your contribution,
James.
