 .. _MANAGED is a define set by the VC compiler if the /clr switch is
 present, therefore it is actually never set when compiling the boost
 libraries. Of course you can set it via `define=_MANAGED` and you can then
 use these generated libraries from a C++/CLI project. (Which I have done:
 ... `define=_MANAGED` ... --with-regex ...)

 BUT: You can now *not* use these libraries from a non-managed ("native")
 C++ project as that, obviously, doesn't have _MANAGED set, and unlike with
 the boost build, I don't think it's feasible to define this wholesale for
 a native project. (And anyways, I'm rather hesitant to define this
 myself.) ...
