RewriteRule ^/dir/(\w+)$ /re_engine/script.php?var1=$1
             ^^ NB.

And for the other poster; yes, Apache includes a rather ancient
version of PCRE, so it uses Perl-compatible regexps where possible.
Unfortunately this has the side-effect of making modules which link to
the system-installed version of PCRE break violently.  It's a bug
which I filed against Apache 2.0 ages ago, but they've never fixed it.
