Since there doesn't seem to be anyone around here whose also using an
updated Dinkumware library, I'd suggest that you either:

1) Use the regex makefile provided (if it's just regex that you want), and
modify the makefile to inject the appropriate #include.
2) Just build in the IDE, there's nothing special going on here: just grab
the sources in libs/whatever/src/*.cpp to build library "whatever". (Caveat:
the python and thread libs are slightly more complex than this, but not by
much).
