Hi Sheri,
I just made a small patch to pcre that provides the dll without the
version number. It however, does not change the contents of the dll.
That is, the pcre.dll still doesn't contain the pcreposix functions.
I don't think it makes sense to give this functionality on windows and
not on unix. So, should we provide a mode that combines the pcre and
pcreposix stuff into one dll or so, named pcre.dll or pcre.so?
The other option Philip, is to just say, from now on, the pcre.dll won't
contain the pcreposix functions.
Any opinions?
Thanks,
Bob Rossi
