Hi,

we used to compile boost regex in boost version 1.36 with the following
command:

bjam.exe -sHAVE_ICU=1  -sICU_PATH=../../../../icu  -sBOOST_REGEX_RECURSIVE
toolset=msvc-7.1  threading=multi  python-debugging=on  link=shared
variant=debug  --without-mpi  libs\regex\build

When switching to boost 1.38, we realized that BOOST_REGEX_RECURSIVE is not
passed/picked up anymore when using the same command (apart compiler version
to compile (verified with some added pragma messages):

How should this be configured nowadays? Or did it never work that way but
the default behaviour changed?
Maybe the user-config.jam file should be used, but I didn't find an example
of how to do this.

Thanks a lot,

Chris
