Summary: check_http needs an option to allow regex to span newlines

Initial Comment:
I want to check a web page that has a number of status
entries for
various servers - I'd like to check a regular
expression that
contains all those servers, but they are on multiple
lines.

check_http.c sets REG_NEWLINE which means that regular
expressions
may not span newlines.  This means that, in my case, I
must check
the web page multiple times.

Here is a patch that adds an option -l / --linespan
that turns off
REG_NEWLINE, thereby allowing regular expressions to
span newlines,
and allowing me to check only once in my tests.

I've also removed some duplication of error messages if
HAVE_REGEX_H
is not defined, hopefully making the code slightly
clearer.

This is a patch against check_http.c version 1.13
(current in CVS).

Cheers!
