I didn't have time to do it over the weekend, as I had trouble getting
sendmail set up on my home machine, but I did get it done a few nights
ago. This is a patch against 2.0b2, and it implements a config file
option "extendedregex" to enable extended regular expression syntax. It
defaults to being disabled (basic syntax mode).

The way I did it, you could add a "basicregex" option, and switch back
and forth in the middle of the config file.  I'm sure that would be a
good feature to have as it may be an invitation for trouble.
