Subject: libpcre version requirements
From: cmbecker69@gmx.de (Christoph Becker)

Hi all!

What is the minimum libpcre version that is supported as external
libpcre for ext/pcre?  According to config0.m4 it is PCRE 6.6
(2006-02-06), but is this still valid and do we really have to support
such old versions?

I'm asking because of bug #70232 which can easily be fixed, but that
requires PCRE 8.00 (2009-10-19).  If we have to support older PCRE
versions, we'd probably need a fallback to the current behavior (which
would obviously keep the bug).
