I tried to point out the issues and ask for what to do here:

        http://rpm5.org/community/rpm-devel/3396.html

There are two resolutions that I see to the issue(s) atm:
1) make internal lua MANDATORY (hwich will cause the usual Bloat! cries)
        2) add lua/* helper libraries to rpmio/ rather than misc/

I'd like to hear consensus before thrashing around in the AutoFu.

FWIW, MANDATORY pcre has been achieved with a rpm-5.1.7 build from tarball
IFF the following restrictions are met:
        1) external pcre (with the regcomp emulation renamed ala Debian et al)
        2) internal lua is used

Building from CVS, the "jbj" configuration in devtool.conf WORKSFORME on both HEAD and the -r rpm-4_1 branch. Re-tagging pcre for the -r rpm-5_1 branch can
be done whenever.

Support for additional configurations are currently waiting for consensus on
the proper approach to resolution.

AFAIK, MANDATORY pcre has been achieved, and other issues like internal <-> external
are resolvable.
