Somebody was working on patches a few months ago, but I have heard no more. The patches were rather large.

But it may be the best way to do it ... one of my thoughts about how to provide this feature automatically is to do conversions like that internally at compile time rather than having lots of changes in the exec-time code. > And there are problem with pcre_study.c.
