I hate it when you break my static link



Please everyone remember:  When you add a module that depends on any kind
of external library feature, you should if at all possible verify that zsh
builds both --enable-dynamic and --disable-dynamic AND that it does so on
a machine that DOES NOT have the external library with which your module
is linking.

In particular, the default linkage in <module>.mdd should NEVER be 'either'
when there is a dependency on a library that might not be available.

More changes than the following will be necessary to actually fix the pcre
module on systems that don't have the library for it, but the following at
least gets --disable-dynamic working again.
