+Debian release of PCRE 4.5 had
+
+PCRE_LIB_VERSION=13:0:10
+PCRE_POSIXLIB_VERSION=13:0:10
+
+which corresponds to latest debian-revision (soname libpcre.so.3,
+installed as libpcre.so.3.9.0) and followed the instructions about version
+numbering in the libtool manual:
+|  3. If the library source code has changed at all since the last
+|     update, then increment REVISION (`C:R:A' becomes `C:r+1:A').
+
+13:1:10
+
+  4. If any interfaces have been added, removed, or changed since the
+     last update, increment CURRENT, and set REVISION to 0.
+
+14:0:10
+
+  5. If any interfaces have been added since the last public release,
+     then increment AGE.
+
+14:0:11
+
+  6. If any interfaces have been removed since the last public release,
+     then set AGE to 0.
+
+n/a
+
+Therefore I'm using 14:0:11 for this release of PCRE 5.0
