And you should be able to with VC7 - if you are using automatic linking and
boost 1.28 just define BOOST_REGEX_STATIC_LINK when building your dll.
Otherwise if all else fails just add the regex source directly to your dll
project (and define both BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB and BOOST_REGEX_STATIC_LINK),
you may also want to reduce the source files you add to those you actually
need to cut out potential code bloat.
