It's already there. From NON-UNIX-USE:
"If you want to statically link your program against a non-dll .a
file, you must define PCRE_STATIC before including pcre.h, otherwise
the pcre_malloc() and pcre_free() exported functions will be declared
__declspec(dllimport), with unwanted results."
I will put an equivalent note into the source of pcredemo.c itself.

I did not just remove it because it was tricky or hard. I did it on
principle. Users are supposed to compile pcredemo.c (if they want to) as
an example of an application that uses PCRE. It is an example for
programmers who want to write PCRE applications. It is not meant to
demonstrate PCRE's pattern matching - you can use pcretest for that.
Having it built automatically defeats the object.
