Well I'm back from vacation... I'm still trying to fix the other build
problem you reported (missing BOOST_ROOT include). As for this problem it
will have to wait a bit for an ideal solution, but there is an immediate
solution you can use. Just replace the "return $(properties) <tag>..." lines
in the boost-regex-stage-tag rules to "return $(properties) <*><*><tag>...".

Or if you feel you can manage the change, replace the use of
"boost-regex-stage-tag", with the new "common-stage-tag".
