Just found this link on the website of rxspencer explaining the alpha status,
http://arglist.com/regex/usenet-spencer-1993-08-07.txt :
Then there's my new one, which is the regular-expression implementation
shipping with 4.4BSD. The good news is that it's completely POSIX.2
compliant. The bad news is that it's pretty slow; it's basically an
alpha release, and I'd really hoped to get at least to a beta before
4.4 shipped, but that didn't happen. Eventually there will be a faster
release, but don't ask me to set a date just yet.
That comment was from back in '93..
I think it's better to drop this package in favor of libgnurx. I'll package it
and come up with a new review request ASAP.
