actually, Boost is much more standard. IIRC the Boost library corresponds to 
tr1::regex (or std::regex in C++0x), which has the incredible advantage of 
being available on all standard conforming C++ compilers. Admittedly the C++ 
compiler has to be fairly new to support this, but you can use Boost as a 
drop-in replacement until the compiler supports it on its own.
