That happens if no symbols are exported from the dll: make sure 
BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK is defined when building as a dll (and in the app that 
will  be linking to it as well).

BTW, unless you really need a dll (calling the regex lib from multiple dll's 
for example) you will get smaller code size from static linking.
