Gavin,

My apologies, after testsing some more, I can reproduce your problem - it
turns out to be related to changes in some of STLports macros when moving
from 4.0 to 4.5.  Please find attached an updated makefile, and one patched
header (these are in the cvs as well).

Just define BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB (this should be in the installation part of
the docs BTW), then you can link to your own build of the lib, or add the
source directly to the project.
