--------------------------------+-------------------------------------------
 In boost/libs/regex/build/Jamfile.v2, if ICU is installed in
 /usr/local/include we fail to set the BOOST_REGEX_ICU_OPTS and
 ICU_SEARCH_OPTS which breaks the build.  The above code is assuming gcc
 will look at /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib as during compilation
 which is NOT true at least on FreeBSD.

 I've suggested to remove the /usr/local/include but it seems this may
 break some Linux builds.  Instead the following patch will allow regex lib
 to build properly:
