I don't know anything about Boost.Python, but linking to regex in a python
extension shouldn't be any different to linking to regex anywhere else.

<lib>$(BOOST_ROOT)/libs/regex/build/boost_regex

or

<dll>$(BOOST_ROOT)/libs/regex/build/boost_regex

as a source dependency to the python-extension target.
