So two OCaml packages need this:

coccinelle
  -> https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/cocci/2022-07/msg00026.html
     (scroll down a bit)
TL;DR is we'll probably disable the dep if pcre goes away in Fedora.

ocaml-ocamlnet

This enables a small corner feature which we can probably disable.

I looked at the qemu sources and I can't see where they need pcre (or
pcre2 for that matter) ...  So I've no idea why the spec file
BuildRequires pcre-static.

This is a real one.  virt-p2v uses a small library called "miniexpect"
which is based on pcre but needs to be ported to pcre2.
