Deprecated error

As far as I can tell this is a Drupal core issue, due to an ereg() call in file_scan_directory. The function was deprecated in PHP 5.3, which I guess is the version you have in WAMP.

This patch should take care of it.

Previous patches have been ignored or lost. The code does work. The new code will even pass the unit test as ereg() would return a 0 or a 1 boolean. preg_match() will do the same by returning the number of hits which would be 0 or 1. Thus matching the requirements of the unit test.

The patch is failing against the version. But as far as I can see everything is correct and works using patch. But then I am using Windows. Perhaps it is a *nix formatting error. Can someone else try re-rolling this with Linux?
