That doesn't work (e.g.) on WSL/Ubuntu as it still uses 8.39… I tried 
for a couple of hours to create a patch that works on both 8.39 and 8.42 
seamlessly… but I failed due to the very complex way that is used to 
avoid including "pcre.h" in headers, as it is too noisy.

It would be probably better to detect that in autoconf and declare some 
variable there. Anyone has that autoconf skill ready?
Mine is too rusty at the moment.
