I don't.  I've never *built* pcre (though it was probably *installed* on
most of the Mandrake setups I used to use, years ago).  But then, I
don't usually use Perl, so I don't really miss much when I don't have
Perl-compatible regex support, either.

It's an optional dependency of Apache, but since Apache has its own copy
that it can use, I don't install pcre.  AFAIK it's not needed (or even
optionally used) for anything else that I usually install.

I'm probably weird, though.  ;-)
