gnome-system-monitor (temporarily) reverted to gnome-2-16 for GNOME 2.17.x

Hi Benoit,

It looks like you recently added a dependency on pcre to
gnome-system-monitor.  Since this isn't one of the approved external
dependencies at
http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointSeventeen/ExternalDependencies, I have
(temporarily) reverted gnome-system-monitor to the gnome-2-16 branch.
That's probably not the best long term solution so here are some other
possibilities:

 - Propose pcre as a blessed dependency as per the instructions
listed at http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointSeventeen/ExternalDependencies
 - Make the dependency on pcre optional

Since pcre is used by external modules such as anjuta, gnucash, and
goffice, and is even proposed for usage in glib
(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2006-October/msg00071.html),
I think the first of those two options should be relatively easy,
though usage of GRegex instead of pcre might be good to discuss as
well.  It just needs to be proposed and accepted before being depended
on.  :-)  Anyway, let us know what works best for you.

[CC'ing d-d-l to keep everyone informed of release status and to
remind people about the new external dependency rules]

Thanks for all your hard work Benoit,
Elijah
