[Chicken-hackers] use host PCRE...

[Vincent Manis]

I would hope that this feature could be supported across platforms? I  
would not
use it myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for it, especially in  
environments
where you might want to ensure that several different applications  
were all
using the same version, as well as in embedded applications.

I think that Felix should add a message, when this option is selected,  
that
use of versions of PCRE other than that provided with Chicken is  
completely
at the user's risk, and that resulting frantic requests for help to the
mailing list are unlikely to produce useful help.

I also think that the README file should contain a specific injunction  
to
creators of packages and binary distributions NOT to enable this option,
no matter how appealing it might seem.
