One advantage to the "binding the dll as a resource" approach is that one can update the resource with a newer version of the dll when necessary (e.g. we need to update due to a security flaw in the older version). It is not necessary to recompile the interpreter .exe, or any bound programs, to do this.

I think I'd prefer to have a euphoria version be an atomic unit. I think Jeremy mentioned the difficulty in keeping everything straight when handling bug reports. If a problem is found with the currently used version of pcre, then I think the proper thing to do would be to release a point (bugfix) release.
