RE: [boost] config.hpp and regex - bad interaction

The macro's are from windef.h, which does at least enclose their definitions
in #ifndef blocks. The solution that comes to mind is:

#if defined(min)
# undef min
#endif
#define min min

...and similarly for max.

Hopefully that will work for most cases where the macro's are defined, such
as in MSVC's minmax.h. An alternative to get rid of the WinDef.h versions is
to define NOMINMAX before including windows.h.

Regards,
James.
