the patch predates php56, doesn't seem to be necessary when building
with apache22, and we want to reduce diffs against upstream; maybe
that part was needed with distant past with apache 1.3 or whatnot,
but that is not in pkgsrc any more
With the introduction of beta and rc releases of php7* into pkgsrc the pattern
matching is often incorrect (for example the current version of php-7.1.0rc6
breaks both <7.1.0 and >=7.1.0). Using .99 is not ideal but does at least
avoid the confusion developers seem to be having with the pmatch ordering.
PHP bundles it's own copy of pcre 8.41 with the distribution, which
is used when build doesn't find system one. Switch to the pkgsrc
pcre, so that we don't need to maintain local PHP JIT patch here.
Upcoming PHP 7.3 already switched to pcre2, so no value maintaining
private PCRE patch any more (if there ever was).
XXX devel/pcre doesn't seem to enable PCRE JIT, might be good to do so
PHP bundles a sqlite3 lib, it's used when the build can't find
system one. Switch to the pkgsrc-provided one, eliminating also
need to maintain a local patch for it. While here make this into a
tunable compile option 'sqlite3', by default on, same as before.
