OK, this what I do to build 1.37.0 for win32 from cygwin:

$ ./configure --with-libraries=regex --prefix=/cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_msw
This builds bjam and write a default user-config.jam and Makefile that you have to change like this:

BJAM_CONFIG=-d2 -j2 -sNO_BZIP2=1 -sNO_ZLIB=1 link=static threading=multi runtime-link=shared threadapi=win32 --layout=system
LIBS=--with-regex release

in user-config.jam replace "using gcc ;" by: "using gcc : : : <compileflags>-DBOOST_WINDOWS_API <compileflags>-mno-cygwin <linkflags>-mno-cygwin ;"

You can then build boost with
$ make install >& install.log

This will build regex and install the headers. Headers and .a will be in /cygdrive/d/Softs/boost_msw which you can adapt to your needs.

I you also want dynamic labraries, you can just remove link=static (?).
