DLL names under windows

Now that I have a basic build system running, I notice that the Regex DLLs generated have a name I expect would be the same if I compiled with MSVC, or Cygwin.  Would these DLLs be interchangeable?  I doubt it.  Given the windows practice of installing (almost) all DLLs in the system folder, isn't this asking for trouble if two tools supplied by different vendors rely on the same boost library, but use different compilers?
