Along those lines, are there any remaining Monotone-specific patches
to Botan? README.botan-monotone doesn't mention anything, and I saw
that the previous patches to pkcs8.cpp aren't in there anymore, but I
haven't done a full diff.

Of course Botan isn't as widespread as PCRE, but it is in Debian,
Gentoo, and the BSDs. And a version of Botan that is compiled with the
asm extensions is often 3-5x faster on 64-bit systems at RSA, which
might help a bit with checkout times.
