Description:
Another package that can be moved away from the unmaintained pcre lib.
The changelog in the source tarball (etc/NEWS.8.md) for the current version (8.1.0) contains the following entry:

"Octave is now compatible with PCRE2 (UTF-8). PCRE2 is preferred over PCRE
if both are installed. Configure with `--without-pcre2` if you prefer Octave
to use PCRE in this case."

This task depends upon
