   http://www.boost-consulting.com/boost/libs/python/doc/building.html#building_ext

describes how to build a module outside the Boost tree with the
current CVS.  To link  boost.regex into the module you can change
getting_started1 as follows:

  # Declare a Python extension called getting_started1
  extension getting_started1
  : # sources
    getting_started1.cpp

    <dll>@boost/libs/regex/build/boost_regex  ### HERE ####

    # requirements and dependencies for Boost.Python extensions
    <template>@boost/libs/python/build/extension
    ;

    
HTH,
