PCRE (and PCRE2 - you should probably be looking at the new API,
recently released, not yet got spread around much) uses only the
services available in Standard C. The only one that involves the OS is
memory management, and even that can be avoided by providing your own
hooks - the API for this is much improved for PCRE2.
