Looking at the patches the one thing that bothers me is the name of this
variable, "REGEX". In the recipe context its rather ambiguous what it
means.

I'm wondering if we should take the opportunity to call it something
like SRC_URI_REGEX or something? 

We either do it now or not at all...

Cheers,

Richard
