I do think that the names,
$ ls ~/download/pcre/pcre-7.1-RC4/prefix-shared/bin/
libpcre-0.dll libpcrecpp-0.dll libpcreposix-0.dll pcre-config
pcregrep.exe pcretest.exe
should change before we release. Either we should do this the unix way,
where we actually have 0 be 7.1, or we should do it the windows way,
libpcre.dll, and get the extra dll support working for version numbers.
What does everyone else think? I know we've been through a lot of pain
over this, but releasing a version of pcre that acts one way, and
another version of pcre that acts another way could be very difficult on
all the end users.
Thanks,
