Hi again.
How am I supposed to rename your header? Will you take care of
fixing the refs in your code? If so, do you propose some name
for it until you finally remove it in next version of Boost.Regex?

(BTW, I extensively grepped the CVS and seems that nobody
except Boost.Regex is using this header, so the renaming should
be harmless.)

Thanx
