Apologies for the slow response I missed the first one.

Aren't the options you want just the same as the POSIX-Basic syntax:

boost::regex e("\\(abc\\)\\{1,2\\}", boost::regex::basic);

See file:///c:/data/boost/develop/boost/libs/regex/doc/syntax_basic.html

For the full syntax and the variations on it (like emacs style regexes).
