I installed PCRE 8.02 without changing the C source code at all but I did 
have to edit `config.status' in the top level source code directory. There 
is a problem in the PCRE 8.02 `configure' script but I was able to run it in 
one iteration and then create the makefiles by running the `config.status' 
script after manual editing. It builds cleanly but four of five tests fail. 
The one line of code in the script that has to be fixed manually is to 
assign `\r' instead of the null string to `ac_cr' . I have 2.04 beta with 
all updates on Windows SP SP3. My external Perl is AS ActivePerl version 
1007.
