FWIW the release announcement[*] of PCRE2 says
You should treat this as a new project, not just a drastic update to PCRE1.
so it would have to be supported in parallel with PCRE, not instead of it.
Notably, all functions have "pcre2_" prefix instead of "pcre_", so at least
superficial changes to the code, and not just configure, would be needed.
