PCRE2 Regular Expression (Regex) Library Wrapper for Visual Basic 6 (VB6)

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.

Some people when confronted with a problem, a regular expression library, and a need for access to said library in VB6 think "I know I'll write a wrapper for PCRE2 in VB6". Now they have three problems :)

The primary goal of this project is to have a comprehensive wrapper for PCRE2 in an ActiveX DLL for use in VB6 or other COM supporting languages.

The secondary goal of this project is to be a drop-in replacement for the VBSscript RegExp object.
