Please port to PCRE 2

[scaronni]

As stated in the webpage: https://www.pcre.org/

There are two major versions of the PCRE library. The current version, PCRE2, released in 2015, is now at version 10.39.

The older, but still widely deployed PCRE library, originally released in 1997, is at version 8.45. This version of PCRE is now at end of life, and is no longer being actively maintained. Version 8.45 is expected to be the final release of the older PCRE library, and new projects should use PCRE2 instead.

And

You can download the current release of the PCRE2 library from its official home on GitHub: https://github.com/PhilipHazel/pcre2/releases

You can also download PCRE2 or the older, unmaintained PCRE library from an unofficial mirror at SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcre/files/

There is currently no EOL distribution that is not carrying PCRE2 (rolling or enterprise distributions). PCRE is starting to be removed from recent distributions.

I tried the latest snapshots and it links correctly to PCRE2. Is there anything else to do on this regard?

Otherwise this issue can be closed.

Thanks!
