Yes we can use that:

[dima@localhost ~]$ pcre-config --cflags
-I/usr/include/pcre

But it also means that actual source files should also have ugliness like

#ifdef __HAVE_PCRE__
	#include <pcre.h>
#elsif __HAVE_PCRE_PCRE__
	#include <pcre/pcre.h>

...

It also appears that RH is switching back to normal location
(at least pcre package from development tree has headers 
in /usr/include). So may be we just leave it as it is, perhaps
add a warning that pcre.h should be symlinked to a standard
location?
