As has been pointed out, pcre.h is provided in the PCRE library.
One tricky thing, however, is that either depending on the age of the
installed PCRE library, or the OS distribution (I haven't verified
which is the case), pcre.h is installed in different locations.
I recall that it is in /usr/include/pcre.h on Debian 3.1 but in
/usr/include/pcre/pcre.h in Red Hat-like distributions.

Since I have not tried to build IMAPFilter 1.3 myself, I don't know
whether its configure script sets the correct -I compiler command line
option for the installed PCRE library.  From the error here, I suspect
not.

Cheers,
