If you statically link to Boost.Regex it adds about 50K to your executable, 
if you dynamically link the .so is a lot larger though.  Enabling ICU 
support doesn't change the size of Boost.Regex much, but ICU itself is a big 
binary: there's no way around that since if you actually want Unicode 
support then the Unicode character database is *big*.
