I decided to get the source code from svn://sporkhack.com/nh, and
tried to compile that. I commented out the regex, and now I get a
bunch of yacc error messages like "/util/lev_yacc.c:1213: error:
syntax error before '->' token". Would it be easier if I installed
the regex headers and libraries?

The two errors aren't related.

Nethack ships with a default set of prebuilt util/*.c files that match
its default level compiler, and has all the lex/yacc calls commented out
when making under WIN32 or DOS. The compiler's been changed significantly
since then though, so it won't work for you; to make it work on Windows
you have to get a version of lex and yacc (or flex and bison) and
uncomment all the appropriate parts in the makefile so that it will
correctly rebuild the util/*.c files to a current definition.

If you run into trouble with yacc, try changing it to use the "-y" option;
I ran into some trouble with that previously due to Windows' parsing
things differently.
