 The exiv2 command line program provides a `--grep` option which filters output.  The implementation requires the header file `<regex.h>` and supporting library to be available during the build.  When not available, the option degenerates to a substring match.  Because there are multiple versions of `<regex.h>` available on the MinGW platform, detection of Regex is always disabled on this platform.
