No because it works for me: somehow, somewhere you must be building the 
regex lib with STLport, and Boost.Build most certainly doesn't do that by 
default / all on it's own (it wouldn't even know where to find STLPort for 
one thing).

BTW, I believe the ICU dll's that IMB ship are built against the release/dll 
msvc runtime.  You will almost certainly have to use the same msvc runtime 
in your code, and when building Boost.Regex (in other words the 
runtime-link=static option probably isn't binary compatible with the ICU 
dll's, of course if you built ICU from source then all bets are off).

And finally... Boost.Regex is "just a bunch of sources", you could addthe 
source files in libs/regex/src/*.cpp to your IDE directly, and set 
BOOST_HAS_ICU as a #define, and away you go... nothing magic here.

HTH, John.
