No, no effect.

I was wrong about this working before: the same bug was fixed in bbv2, but 
it's still there in bbv1, I've done a cvs update, rebuilt bjam so I see :

$ bjam -v
Boost.Jam Version 3.1.11. OS=CYGWIN.

Then using a cygwin built bjam (that's the important bit, it works with a VC 
build bjam), and as I said before:

cd libs/regex/test
bjam regex_regress_dll

I get a windows message box saying the application can't find the regex dll.

If it works for you, do you have a regex dll already installed in your path 
somewhere?

Thanks,

John.
