Well if windows.h doesn't compile I don't know what the problem is, you 
could try altering the order of your #includes I suppose, but whatever the 
issue is, it's beyond our control.  If you still want to disable 
Win32-specific support, just define BOOST_REGEX_NO_W32 in 
boost/regex/user.hpp and rebuild the library as well as your code.
