Hello all,

For those who need/want more regexp functionality, I've created a
binding to pcre. I already had a gypified pcre for my mmmagic addon,
so it wasn't too bad putting pcre into its own separate addon.

Currently it builds on Windows, Linux, and OSX. BSD and *Solaris users
can send me a proper config.h (see the node-pcre readme for ./
configure flags) that I can include to allow it to build on those
platforms as well.

As far as performance goes, it really depends on the pattern. However
from what I've seen thus far, this binding is at a bit of a speed
disadvantage due to the crossing of the JS->C++ boundary and other
differences. But if you want more power than what the JS regexp engine
gives you, then I would say give this binding a try.
