+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, including Visual
+Studio, Borland, Msys, MinGW, NMake, and Unix. The following instructions
were contributed by a PCRE user.
-1. Download CMake 2.4.7 or above from http://www.cmake.org/, install 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.
