Yes the ICU binary is always a dll, linked to the shared runtime. However, the regex binary could be a static lib as long as links to the same shared runtime as the ICU dll.
OK, I have checked in this:
Testing on Win32 checks out OK, but on Linux I see some errors, first off:

Am I doing something wrong here? Is this due to the lib names not being mangled anymore? If so can we please have a better error message :-)
Apparently I've missed this part of your email as well :-( Anyway, I've added code to say this: error: Cannot use --layout=system with --build-type complete. error: Please used either --layout=versioned or --layout=tagged error: if you wish to build multiple variants. error: Note that --layout=system is default on Unix starting with Boost 1.40. This is on trunk now. Because this is essentially changing one error message to another, I'll merge this to release branch momentary. - Volodya
