Either should work: if you want to extract first then something like:

bcp --boost=path-to-boost regex.hpp build Jamfile .

should give you all of Boost.Regex in the current directory (Note the final 
"." in the command line above!), plus Boost.Build, plus the top level 
Jamfile.

Of course if the libs you want don't need building then forget about the 
build and Jamfile targets.

HTH,

John.
