Description:
------------
expressions that work in older versions fail on PHP6 unicode.semantics=on

Compared 5.2-dev, 5.3-dev and 6.0-dev snapshots

Reproduce code:
---------------
$line = "* 469 EXISTS\r\n";
if (ereg("[^ ]+ +([^ ]+) +EXISTS", $line, $match)) {
    var_dump($match[1]);
} else {
    var_dump(false);
}

$line = "* 469 FETCH (UID 508 BODY[1]<0> {154}\r\n";
if (ereg('\\{([^\\}]*)\\}', $line, $match)) {
    var_dump($match[1]);
} else {
    var_dump(false);
}

Expected result:
----------------
string(3) "469"
string(3) "154"

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)

Warning: ereg(): REG_BADRPT in /home/tomas/testbeds/test/php60/bin/ereg.php on line 10
bool(false)

This is expected, the code isn't prepared to works with unicode strings.
Actually it only use REG_EXTENDED with binary strings, and convert the unicode string to normal string.

For unicode aware regexps use PCRE. The old ereg stuff should be provided as wrapper functions which uses PCRE underneath though.

PCRE and ereg_* have different syntaxes. So wrapping ereg to pcre will break most regexes.
