Not-so-minor updates are, in fact available. :)

Should be 1.3.9.

Not needed in Unix-like environments that have libiconv generally
available. Not needed on Windows because we use the native character
encoding conversion functions (since ... I don't recall when, but it's
been quite a while).

I have _no_ idea how PCRE got on this list. Subversion itself does not
use it, nor, as far as I'm aware, do Serf, APR or APR-Util.

Serf trunk can be compiled with 1.1, but I'm not sure how far along the
1.3.x release branch is. Whilst OpenSSL 1.1 has made some really
unfortunate decisions that break API compatibility with the 1.0.x line,
there are also a number of serious bugs fixed in it ...
