[Buildroot] Lighttpd with -pcre support

[Dan Pattison <dan.pattison@ethertek.ca>]

Hello List:

I want to use mod_redirect with lighttpd to redirect any normal http 
request to secure https.
I get this error message:

Starting HTTP Server...
can't handle '$HTTP[host] =~ ...' as you compiled without pcre support.

I made sure -prce support was enabled in the menuconfig. Still no go.
I hard coded the lighttpd.mk file to force --with pcre support. Still no go.
I deleted both lighttpd and pcre-7.7 and watched buildroot re-configure 
and make them again. I still can't make lighttpd compile with pcre support.

Here is the output from lighttpd -V:

# lighttpd -V
