It is rather complicated and the only way to understand it is to read
the code and figure out how it does it. There are some notes about the
format of the compiled pattern in the file HACKING in the PCRE
distribution. I do not have the time (or, I'm afraid, the interest) in
trying to explain it any more than that.
