I beleive the right fix for regexes is to use RE_ICASE flag instead
of the translate table.
The hard-coded table is also used in gawk for various case-insensitive
comparisons; these should be replaced by a call to tolower().
The hard-coded table should be then removed.

I personally don't have time for it now.  Stanislav, are you willing to
implement this?

Have a nice day,
