[Vm-dev] [unix] RePlugin patch for pcre

In principle this should be a trivial fix. In practice it is a bit more
complicated.  I have collected some information and added it to a mantis issue
at http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7785.

I suspect that the error that the Debian maintainers are encountering reflects
a linker path conflict between the OS-supplied PCRE library versus the local
Squeak VM code in platforms/Cross/plugins/RePlugin.

Presumably we should use the OS-supplied library where possible, but I don't
know if PCRE is readily available on non-Linux platforms, and I'm having
problems getting the linker to work when I compile in 32-bit mode on my
computer, and the plugin still has issues compiling in 64-bit mode, so
I won't attempt a patch for RePlugin until this is sorted out.

More to follow, meanwhile anyone interested please read the mantis notes
at http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7785, guidance or advice welcome.

Dave
