One semi-obvious way out of this dilemma would be to offer two source
tarballs: one with the libpcre source in it (which is the way it is
handled e.g. in tin) and one without the libpcre sources. One would
have to modify "make dist" accordingly which should not be too
difficult.

(However, don't expect me to re-package all the old versions :-)
