For Visual C++ or Borland C++, the regex lib is best built using the
supplied makefiles - the lib and dll file names will then match those that
the lib wants to link against.  If you want to link against your own lib
build,  or against a jam produced build then you will need to define
BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB to suppress the automatic linking.  Eventually I would
like to ensure that the Jam produced files have the same name as the
makefile produced ones, but I haven't got to grips with Jam enough to do
that yet.

BTW this is all in the regex docs...
