Outdated information in regex.Rd
The NEWS for R-devel has the following item:
The previously included versions of zlib, bzip2, xz and PCRE have been removed, so suitable external (usually system) versions are required (see the ?R Installation and Administration? manual).
Therefore I believe the following information in 'src/library/base/man/regex.Rd' is no longer valid:
If PCRE support was compiled from the sources within R, the PCRE version is 8.36 as described here.
