Building PCRE without using autotools
-------------------------------------
+NOTE: This document relates to PCRE releases that use the original API, with
+library names libpcre, libpcre16, and libpcre32. January 2015 saw the first
+release of a new API, known as PCRE2, with release numbers starting at 10.00
+and library names libpcre2-8, libpcre2-16, and libpcre2-32. The old libraries
+(now called PCRE1) are still being maintained for bug fixes, but there will be
+no new development. New projects are advised to use the new PCRE2 libraries.
