[erlang-patches] extended back references in re:replace/3,4

[Vance Shipley]

Folks,

I never heard anything further after submitting this patch in April.
I have redone it today using the current maint branch and it is available
here:

	https://github.com/vances/otp/commit/2094d07ca0fae8e2d983a4aeaaf2e4db7896edd5

Please let me know what I have to do to see this included in pu.
