I don't see anything obviously wrong with that.  My only question, is you 
say BOOST_HAS_THREADS is defined, are you defining it, or is Boost.Config 
defining it (if Boost.Config *isn't* setting it, then your project settings 
are wrong for multithreaded code)?  Are you selecting the regex lib to link 
to manually or letting the auto-linking code do it's work (for minimum 
chances of bad things happening you should let the auto-linking code select 
the correct binary)?

HTH, John.
