+2. Installed revised CMake configuration files provided by Jan-Willem Blokland. 
+This extends the CMake build system to build both static and shared libraries
+in one go, builds the static library with PIC, and exposes PCRE2 libraries
+using the CMake config files. JWB provided these notes:
+
+- Introduced CMake variable BUILD_STATIC_LIBS to build the static library.
+
+- Make a small modification to config-cmake.h.in by removing the PCRE2_STATIC 
+  variable. Added PCRE2_STATIC variable to the static build using the
+  target_compile_definitions() function.
+
+- Extended the CMake config files.
+
+  - Introduced CMake variable PCRE2_USE_STATIC_LIBS to easily switch between
+    the static and shared libraries.
+
+  - Added the PCRE_STATIC variable to the target compile definitions for the 
+    import of the static library.
+
+Building static and shared libraries using MSVC results in a name clash of
+the libraries. Both static and shared library builds create, for example, the
+file pcre2-8.lib. Therefore, I decided to change the static library names by
+adding "-static". For example, pcre2-8.lib has become pcre2-8-static.lib.
+[Comment by PH: this seems to be MSVC-specific. It doesn't happen on Linux.]

+# Static vs. shared
+# -----------------
+# To make use of the static library instead of the shared one, one needs
+# to set the variable PCRE2_USE_STATIC_LIBS to ON before calling find_package.
+# Example:
+#   set(PCRE2_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
+#   find_package(PCRE2 CONFIG COMPONENTS 8BIT)
+#
+# This will define the following variables:
+#
+#   PCRE2_FOUND   - True if the system has the PCRE2 library.
+#   PCRE2_VERSION - The version of the PCRE2 library which was found.
+#
+# and the following imported targets:
+#
+#   PCRE2::8BIT  - The 8 bit PCRE2 library.
+#   PCRE2::16BIT - The 16 bit PCRE2 library.
+#   PCRE2::32BIT - The 32 bit PCRE2 library.
+#   PCRE2::POSIX - The POSIX PCRE2 library.
