Public bug reported:

For the C++ PCRE library, there is no development package.

For instance, the libpcre3-dev package contains headers, development
libraries, and the pcre-config shell script. There is no such equivalent
package for the C++ library.

An example: It looks like no package in either ubuntu or debian contains
the pcre++-config script, which is needed to build C++ applications that
use the library. This makes building libopkele (an OpenID C++ library)
somewhat difficult.

** Affects: Ubuntu
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed

** Description changed:

- For the C++ PCRE bindings, there is no development package.
