[Boost-users] Newbie -- Regex, Unicode, XCode and MacOSX

Hello.  I'm trying to incorporate Unicode regex searching in a little 
app I'm doing.  I'm building using XCode 1.2 on MacOSX 10.3.4.  The 
problem I'm having is that I can't seem to get boost's regex to 
incorporate unicode or wide-character support.  In 
<boost/config/platform/macos.hpp> there is the line #define 
BOOST_NO_CWCHAR which seems to disable allowance for unicode by causing 
boost::wregex and boost::wcmatch symbols to not be typedef-ed.  A test 
app. shows that these symbols are defined when I build using 
Codewarrior.  So I'm wondering how to get unicode support for regex 
using XCode (gcc) on a MacOSX machine.  Any suggestions?

Thanks 10^6,
   STeve Moore.
