I'd suggest configuring like this to make sure they all enable:
./configure --with-libxml2 --with-zlib --with-pcre

Well, I figured that not everyone would want PCRE. I added PCRE support
only because Windows has no native regex library. The regex library
that we were using on Windows produced nearly 100 warnings. So, I added
PCRE because it provided a well tested POSIX regex library on Windows.
Ideally, PCRE would be set to "yes" if some required regex function is
not detected on the system. This does not currently happen.
