Thank you.

The most convenient for me is a patch against the latest version in the
Subversion repository. You can download the PCRE1 source like this:

svn co svn://vcs.exim.org/pcre/code/trunk pcre

Then update and use "svn diff" to create the diff. But if you're unable (or not
willing) to run SVN, the sources are also available via

https://vcs.pcre.org/

My fix for the issue would not be sensible if PCRE1 were still developing,
because it introduces a private list of (*UTF8) and friends, but since no new
ones will ever be added, I felt it was acceptable. If yours is a long-term
project, I'm afraid you may eventually have to consider how to move to PCRE2
(the 10.xx releases), which is where development is taking place. There has
been quite a lot of development since it split from PCRE1.
