>So: Out of the box, VC6 works and Cygwin GCC doesn't. (I haven't tried
it with GCC on my Linux box yet; presumably it would work if my guess
about the cause is correct.) If I run configure, but forget about the
makefile it generates and run gcc.mak instead, it works, but now VC6 no
longer works.

I admit I haven't tested with a really recent version of cygwin, the idea
of another 20-30Mb download doesn't appeal - so it looks like you need to
run configure for this to work - try this:

1) run configure
2) rename regex_options.hpp to something else: cygwin_options.hpp
3) re-extract the original regex_options.hpp
4) modify regex_option.hpp to include cygwin_options.hpp if __CYGWIN__ is
defined.
