Then again, I guess those writing Windows clients won't love that (or
does Windows have regex parsing these days?), so I guess I'll have to

If you mean regex libraries for Windows, they're available - look at the
gnuwin32 project page <http://gnuwin32.sf.net/>. If you mean "does an
ordinary Windows user know what's regex", the answer is most likely no.
Still, there are a few Windows programs which support regex, mostly e-mail
clients and newsreaders.
