Hi,

thanks for the hint!

You've got everything right except d) My extension is a *.exe, but it cannot
be run indepently.

I'll try static linking, but I guess it will not solve the problem: I'm 100%
sure that the main application does not use boost.regex (I've checked with
dependancy walker).

I can debug my plugin (as long as it's not calling functions of the main
application library), but I need some hints where to look at when
boost::regex is involved.

Regards,
Carsten
