That's doable, I guess. Does that change somehow the minimum version
requirement of pcre? That is: say we put the latest PCRE in Qt (with
all the features available). Should the code be able to compile and
run with older PCRE versions or not?

(I think that the discussion about qtsupport itself should fork from
this thread...)
