Heh...... Regex and Date_Time are two of the (few) non-header only ones.

You're probably going to run into the same artifact I was complaining 
about earlier today.... there seems to be something funky about the 1.39 
edition (which I downloaded from Boost Pro), wherein it makes Visual 
Studio a tad wacky.

I never had that happen with 1.35 (which I had been using).

This morning I spent a couple hours fighting with the build utilities to 
get 1.40 (the latest, in source, which BoostPro doesn't have in binary 
form) to compile into .lib and .dll files.

The directions are accurate, but terse.  If you've had *nix experience 
though, you should be OK (it's all done from the command line).
