I get the following errors and warnings:

stlport_test fatal error LNK1120: 7 unresolved externals

Just to test that I compiled against stlport I took it out of the include
path and I got this:
stlport_test fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file
'libboost_regex-vc71-mt-1_31.lib'

So it is built against stlport. About boost not being built against stlport
because of a wrong STLPORT_PATH variable, that isn't possible as it is
checked at build-time by bjam.

The only other thing I can mention is that I also applied the
boost-1.31.0-regex-patch-20040503.zip patch...

Seeing as noone can fix this, can someone tell me of another regex package
besides microsoft's atl? I'm looking for something more perl-like...
