On my PR from two months ago, I never saw a problem with regex with travis.
This ran the tests for both libc++ and libstdc++, but it used libc++ from gcc
5. 

However, there is a problem with the tests when using older c++ versions(such
as c++11 or c++03), as the header still exists even though it is not valid. So
I only tested the very latest versions. Ideally the header test should check
for the classes someone would expect in the header, which would avoid this
problem.

I also disabled the several tests as they were broken on different platforms:
