If the library has symbols with std:: in them, then it was *not* built 
against STLport.  Double check all your bjam build options (do we have a 
toolset for VC8 and STLport anyway?), and if all else fails, I suggest you 
treat the regex lib as "just a bunch of sources" and build from your IDE, 
taking care to ensure that build options are the same as for your 
application.
