[boost] compiler error with Spirit: wrong internal use of regex library

Hello,

when using the regular expression parser with the Spirit library, I get the
following compilation error (I've edited the g++-output somewhat):

g++ -c -o TestSpirit.o -ansi  -g -Iboost-1_33/include/boost-1_33/ TestSpirit.cpp
In file included from boost-1_33/include/boost-1_33/boost/spirit/utility/regex.hpp:46,
boost-1_33/include/boost-1_33/boost/spirit/utility/impl/regex.ipp:65: error: wrong number of template arguments (1, should be 2)
Command exited with non-zero status 1

I edited the file boost-1_33/include/boost-1_33/boost/spirit/utility/impl/regex.ipp,
replacing line 65

    boost::reg_expression<CharT> rxstr;    // regular expression to match

with

    boost::basic_regex<CharT> rxstr;    // regular expression to match

, and now it seems to work (at least my application). So I guess the Spirit library needs
to be updated (according to the new regex-library standard).

Oliver

P.S. I tried it out with g++ 3.4.3 and 4.0.1, but it doesn't matter.
