summary:     Use PCRE regular expressions throughout Octave.



in particular a typo in the RE to extract a package version number from the OF
website leads 


pkg install -forge <package name>


to fail with the error:


warning: unrecognized escape sequence `d' -- converting to `d'
error: get_forge_pkg: could not read version number from package's page
error: called from:
error:   /opt/octave/3.5/share/octave/3.5.0+/m/pkg/get_forge_pkg.m at line 49,
column 7
error:   /opt/octave/3.5/share/octave/3.5.0+/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 2384, column
15
error:   /opt/octave/3.5/share/octave/3.5.0+/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 345, column
32


The attached (trivial) patch solves the issue for me.
