That's what I was thinking.  I love perl's regexp capability but I wonder
if adding this would bloat the DLL too much.  Maybe we need another DLL?
With recent proposed changes to dlltool we could use a "forwarding" export
in cygwin.def that would cause a cygpcre.dll to be loaded.

er, um, I mean rhpcre.dll.
