As far as possible I try to avoid using 3rd-party C libraries in my ocaml code -- I try to stick with pure ocaml libraries. But there's no avoiding pcre in what I do. I would like to understand how you fixed this -- can you point me at the changes you had to make? I diffed buildfiles/godi-pcre-6.0.1godi2 and buildfiles/godi-pcre-6.0.1godi4 but I don't think I see the fix in there.
