[boost] make regex library on HP

The usual method is to cd into the <boost-root>/libs/regex directory and
run the configure script like this:

export CXX="aCC"
export CXXFLAGS="-Aa -DHPUX_SOURCE"
./configure
make

However in case you have tried this already:

>> aCC -DHPUX_SOURCE -g -I../../../ -c ../src/cregex.cpp
>
>Error 342: "../../../boost/regex/detail/regex_split.hpp", line 39 # 
>Incomplete declarations may not have internal linkage.
>       static const charT expression_text[] = { '\\', 's', '+', '\00', };

what happens if you change that to:

 static const charT expression_text[5] = { '\\', 's', '+', '\00', };

If you're getting errors from system headers then I don't know what the
issue is - maybe your changes to the Rogue Wave lib have broken something?

>Error 328: "../../../boost/regex/detail/fileiter.hpp", line 245 #

Since <cassert> is included and assert is obviously defined, I have no idea
why the call to __assert fails to compile.

>Error 738: "../src/cregex.cpp", line 377 # Template deduction failed

No idea about that one either - if you can't compare two iterators (they're
of type std::list<string>::iterator) - then what can you do?  Maybe your
changes to Rogue Waves lib broke something again.

BTW I'm unfamiliar with aCC compiler versioning, is this a recent up to
date compiler or an older one that your using?

I'm also going to be on holiday again this week, so you may not get a
speedy reply (again) sorry!
