With apologies for getting in late on this discussion: shared library builds
with cygwin or mingw32 are deliberately disabled - in short they don't work
with the regex lib :-(

See https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3430 for a long-ish discussion
on this... it's getting closer to being supported... maybe !

HTH, John.
