Does it work now for linking your pcre library?

I don't think it will, because it doesn't take PCRE_CPPFLAGS into
account when testing for the presence of pcre.h.

Oh.  Oops.

Why not use OCTAVE_CHECK_LIB for consistency?

We could do that, but I thought we were aiming to use pkg-config.

There are a few other cases where we use PKG_CHECK_MODULE to get FOO_CFLAGS and FOO_LIBS, then we set FOO_CPPFLAGS=$FOO_CFLAGS. Ugh.

I would prefer setting -I options (only) in CPPFLAGS, -L options (only) in LDFLAGS, and the -llibfoo in FOO_LIBS. So yeah, maybe we should be using OCTAVE_CHECK_LIB, possibly modified to use pkg-config if pkg-config has info for the library we are looking for?
