In building PCRE 8.32 on Windows, I noticed the following warnings come up
numerous times:
--------8<--------
warning #1786: function "fopen" (declared at line 237 of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\INCLUDE\stdio.h") was declared "deprecated ("This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider
using fopen_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for details.") "
warning #1786: function "getenv" (declared at line 447 of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 9.0\VC\INCLUDE\stdlib.h") was declared "deprecated ("This function or variable may be unsafe.
Consider using _dupenv_s instead. To disable deprecation, use _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS. See online help for
details.") "
warning #1786: function "sprintf" (declared at line 366 of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 9.0\VC\INCLUDE\stdio.h") was declared "deprecated ("This function or variable may be unsafe.

warning #1786: function "strcpy" (declared at line 74 of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\VC\INCLUDE\string.h") was declared "deprecated ("This function or variable may be unsafe. Consider

warning #1786: function "strerror" (declared at line 126 of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 9.0\VC\INCLUDE\string.h") was declared "deprecated ("This function or variable may be unsafe.

warning #1786: function "strncpy" (declared at line 157 of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 9.0\VC\INCLUDE\string.h") was declared "deprecated ("This function or variable may be unsafe.

-------->8--------
The attached patch adds _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS to the CMake config header
template to shoo these away.
