Well, at least the name of the library has to be different, so that 
libpcre and libnpcre or libpcre2 (or whatever) can co-exist in the same 
installation, because not all applications will switch at the same time. 
If that's the only change - that is, if the function names remain the 
same - there is a lot of scope for confusion. Changing the function 
names could reduce the confusion.
