Finally it seems to boil down to change four files of real code

$ grep -Rl pcre | grep -v -e util/regexp -e cmake -e Manifest -e '\.txt' -e config -e pbxproj -e \.ini
c++/src/util/xregexp/regexp.cpp
c++/src/util/xregexp/regexp_template_tester.cpp
c++/include/util/xregexp/regexp.hpp
c++/include/util/xregexp/regexp_template_tester.hpp

(if my rough estimation is not absolutely wrong.) 

Kind regards
     Andreas.
