that's strange: it keeps on building also cygboost_regex.dll, and when I 
link to the generated library, and run the executable it keeps on 
searching for cygboost_regex.dll.

I need to use the built library with mingw, but I can only seem to 
manage to compile boost regex with cygwin, that's why I tried passing 
-mno-cygwin...

any clue please?

thanks in advance
