Hi Philip,
No, I meant instead. Also, you should consider adding NON-UNIX-USE to
the html pages where it would be more likely to be seen by Windows
users. As is, NON-UNIX-USE has no file extension (e.g., ".txt") and is
probably overlooked by the majority of Windows newcomers. Possibly it
would have a better chance of being seen if it had "Readme" in its name.
However, as text, it would need CRLF line endings to be easily read on
Windows.
Below is a proposed update to the Cmake portion.

CMake is an alternative configuration facility that can be used instead
of the
traditional Unix "configure". CMake creates project files (make files,
solution files, etc.) tailored to numerous development environments such
as Visual Studio, Borland, Msys, MinGW, NMake, Unix, etc.
1. Install the latest CMake version available from
http://www.cmake.org/, and
ensure that cmake\bin is on your path.
2. Unzip (retaining folder structure) the PCRE source tree into a source
directory such as C:\pcre.
3. Create a new, empty build directory, e.g.: C:\pcre\build\
4. Run cmake-gui from the Shell envirornment of your build tool, e.g., Msys
for Msys/MinGW or Visual Studio Command Prompt for VC/VC++
5. Enter C:\pcre\pcre-xx and C:\pcre\build for the source and build
directories, respectively.
6. Hit the "Configure" button.
7. Select the particular IDE / build tool that you are using (Visual
Studio,
MSYS makefiles, MinGW makefiles, etc.)
8. The GUI will then list several configuration options. This is where
you can
enable UTF-8 support, etc.
9. Hit "Configure" again. The adjacent "Generate" button should now be
active.
10. Hit "Generate".
11. The build directory should now contain a usable build system, be it a
solution file for Visual Studio, makefiles for MinGW, etc. Exit from
cmake-gui
and use the generated build system with your compiler or IDE.
