Of course any installed pcre instance can be used.  Moreover, 
nginx will try hard to detect various standard installations, see 
lib/pcre/conf.

The --with-pcre option was introduced to simplify building the 
library with nginx itself, which is sometimes practical, 
especially if there is no standard way to install the library 
(like, e.g., on win32).
