I have written a document that discusses this and also the UTF-16 issue (bug
1049) because they both impact on PCRE's API. I posted the document to bug
1049, but you can also read it at http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/ph10/PCRE16bit.

My proposal for this issue is, for the moment, to do the easy thing, namely,
add a callout function pointer to the pcre_extra structure, and add a
PCRE_USE_MALLOC option to force the use of malloc and free. This does not
preclude doing a more general development later.
