In order to use the extended capture information then you must define 
BOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA:

*both when building your application, and when building the regex lib*

If you're linking against the standard bjam built lib's then this won't 
work: the lib's won't be binary compatible with the BOOST_REGEX_MATCH_EXTRA 
option.  Yes I no this is a pain, but it's a feature that has costs, so I 
don't want to enable it by default.
