For pcre I don't have a strong opinion. It can be included, on the
other side it doesn't needs to be included. It's a popular software,
and I wouldn't mind including it (even as I don't see the _immediate_
benefit).

libselinux on the other side is a little bit different. I haven't
looked at the contents of this package, but it sounds like it's related
to "security enhanced linux". AFAIK this needs kernel support, which we
don't have. But this is just a wild guess at midnight, it may be wrong...

Bye,
Alexander.
