Ian Main mentioned pcre, 
(http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=89460) which looks 
like it doesn't ask for as much. So I could convert my package to use it.

In the future, the data we are pulling by reading /proc/cpuinfo (and 
anything else needing regexes) would hopefully be exposed by libvirt 
anyways, which means no regex dependency at all. I'm looking forward to 
that.
