You are very fast, but my general question is still valid.

The library should support Oniguruma-4 versions, because they will be used in 
Ruby, starting with version 1.9, while Oniguruma-5 is not related to Ruby. If 
one wants to use the pattern matching capabilities of Ruby 1.9, but still have 
problems with libraries, that are not yet ported to Ruby 1.9, needs the regular 
expression engine of Ruby 1.9 in Ruby 1.8 to avoid later porting problems for 
the own software.
