I don't know whether the person responsible for libpcre being included has
looked at the backport of qt3's regex engine there is a possibility that
libpcre could be eliminated as IIRC qt3's regex engine has probably 90% perl 
compatability. The file is in kdebase/kate/qt3back and is being uses in kate 
and IIRC Knode is also using it. 
I also believe this will ease porting to KDE 3 when ever we decide to start 
porting.
