You need to have the PCRE (http://www.pcre.org) library installed in
your system, if PCRE support will be built in.  The pcre.h file is part
of the PCRE library distribution.

Imapfilter just uses the functionality provided by the PCRE library, and
wraps it with a very simple interface in Lua, the regex_search()
auxiliary function, that is described in the imapfilter_config(5) manual
page.

If you don't want support for PCRE, you can just do:

  ./configure -o pcre=no

... before building the imapfilter distribution.
