	I second the move, + signs have caused lots of problems before (at  
times needing several escapes to even mildly work) and lots of ports  
(some of them pertaining to C++ development) have already been moved  
to a *xx naming scheme. These two should be pcrexx and p5-text- 
tabsxwrap (or something...), respectively.
