Oops, missed that!

It might be useful to point out that you will actually get linker errors
from the default builds though, unless [I believe] you define
BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB.  It took me a little while to work out why my new
project wanted to link to a library that did not exist, rather than the
one bjam had built for me (and was added to my project)

Of course, it is entirely possible I am being quite slow about this, I
am laden under with issues surrounding the upgrade to BCB6 and perhaps
getting a bit snappy when something is not precisely spelled out for me
