[Bioc-devel] C library or C package API for regular expressions

[Jiří Hon]

Hi Charles,

thank you a lot for your helpful hint. There is still a thing that I'm 
not sure about - Boost manual says that Boost.Regex is not header only 
[1]. So as BH package contains only headers, I will have to bundle the 
Boost.Regex library into the package code anyway. Am I right?
