Hi,

I was surprised to see that Boost.Regex doesn't compile to a shared
library when using MinGW. The following lines in
lib/regex/build/Jamfile.v2 prevent it:

     <toolset>gcc-mw:<link>static
     <toolset>gcc-mingw:<link>static
     <toolset>gcc-cygwin:<link>static

After commenting them out, the library builds as a Dll.

I searched for a reason for these 3 lines, but couldn't find anything.
Does anyone on this list know why they are there? The program I'm
porting to windows works fine with the Dlls build with MinGW.

Thanks.
