I don't have access to a Microsoft embedded compiler, so I can't comment on 
how well regex works there, but the regex library is basically "just a bunch 
of sources" located in libs/regex/src, so you can build them into a dll or 
static lib using your IDE, or by modifying the makefile in libs/regex/build 
(but using the IDE is likely to be easier).

You may also find that the std lib supplied with the embedded compiler isn't 
up to scratch, in which case you may be forced into using STLPort... but I'm 
not sure about that.

HTH, John.
