Yes, that is correct. There are 2 known issues from Sheri. Getting a dll
with the name pcre.dll and running the test suite on mingw. As you said,
we should be able to get both of those to work, but there doesn't seem
to be a reason to hold up the release for it.

Last time I tried to build pcre from svn, for some reason it didn't work
on mingw. I had to run ./autogen.sh on cygwin and then configure it on
mingw to get it to work. I'll try again today and let you know.
