Many thanks John,

I do remember building boost::regex from source (maybe back around the 
time of boost v1.54) but the source files from back then won't compile 
against the latest regex headers.  Also... I'm not seeing a 'src' 
subfolder here in v1.71 (for that matter, I don't even see a 
'boost/libs/' subfolder).  These are the subfolders I currently see 
under 'boost/regex':-

 Â Â Â Â Â  config
 Â Â Â Â Â  pending
 Â Â Â Â Â  v4

Have I maybe downloaded the wrong version? (or am I looking in the wrong 
place??)
