Sounds good, thanks.

What about those in patch 5/6?

If you look at patch 3/6 you will see:

+ + if (opt->ignore_case) + options |= PCRE_CASELESS; + + p->pcre_regexp = pcre_compile(p->pattern, options, &error, &erroffset, + NULL);

and also
+test_expect_success LIBPCRE 'grep -P -i pattern' '
in patch 5/6 :). Or perhaps it doesn't work for you?
