The "-p" is placed in the name if you build with bjam and stlport, not from 
the makefile.

Nope, last try: regex is "just a bunch of sources", they're located in 
libs/regex/src.  So you can either add those directly to your project, or 
build them into a library from your IDE using the same build settings as the 
rest of your project.
