Hi.

On my system, pcre.h is located under the /usr/include/pcre directory
and the configure script doesn't find it.  There is no way to use the
"--with-pcre=DIR" option to change this since it looks in "DIR/include".

The configure script should probably check for pcre.h at least in the following
locations:

	/usr/include/pcre
	/usr/local/include/pcre
	$prefix/pcre

and possibly others, when $pcre_dir is undefined or empty.
An alternative would be for the configure script to support a
"--with-pcre-includes=/usr/include/pcre" option.

Sorry, I didn't write a patch for this.
