Note that one of these is for use with multi-threaded builds (-mt) and
one is for single-threaded.  Depnding on how you're compiling your
code, this may explain the linker error.

I rebuilt (and downloaded 1.32 along the way) and now
libboost_regex-gcc.so is a hard link to
libboost_regex-gcc-1_32.so.1.32.0.  I don't believe it was before (could
be wrong)

Anyway, compiling with the generic name now works great, thanx.
