I tested this with Solaris 7 and gcc 2.95.2 and it passes all tests (except
the locale-related, but that's normal).
If PCRE compiles and passes the tests on that old platform, it should work
everywhere :P
I'll also try this version with the php test suite this weekend and I'll let
you know if there is any problem.
Regards,
Nuno
