There's not been any deliberate dropping of support for VC6 in Boost.Regex, 
but:

* We stopped testing it a while back (and I haven't had it installed on my 
machine for some time to test with locally).
* Boost.Regex's dependencies may have dropped VC6 support even if the regex 
lib hasn't (shared_ptr for example).

Sorry I can't be more definite, but this is a *very* old compiler now!

HTH, John.
