The input formats to be processed by this RE are very limited, and under
AdaCore's control:

   (whatever GNAT Pro reports)
   GNATLS GPL 2016 (20160515-49)
   GNATLS 4.8.1

and it's not as though the RE processing is done by shelling out to run
grep (you can tell this because gprconfig runs on Windows).
