You can use PCRE instead, but make sure to wrap it in #ifdef
HAVE_LIBPCRE (which requires having #ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H /
#include "config.h" at the top). However, the configure script will
prefer GRegex over PCRE (see configure.in). I didn't look carefully at
how GRegex was added to Wireshark as someone else committed it, but it
sounds like GRegex is preferred and pcre *may* go away some day
(probably not anytime soon though).
