Try PCRE: http://www.pcre.org
It's used by a lot of programs written in C/C++, and is probably the
most commonly used regexp library in Linux. Another benefit is that
it's included in a lot of distros.

Don't worry, there's still a good chance some Perl fanatic will
insist that "Perl is the right tool for this". :) PCRE is close
enough, since it uses the same regexp syntax as Perl without
actually being Perl.
