added m4 macros for boost C++ headers and libs, hopefully making better autoconf...

3 # SYNOPSIS
4 #
5 #   AX_BOOST_REGEX
6 #
7 # DESCRIPTION
8 #
9 #   Test for Regex library from the Boost C++ libraries. The macro
10 #   requires a preceding call to AX_BOOST_BASE. Further documentation
11 #   is available at <http://randspringer.de/boost/index.html>.
12 #
13 #   This macro calls:
14 #
15 #     AC_SUBST(BOOST_REGEX_LIB)
16 #
17 #   And sets:
18 #
19 #     HAVE_BOOST_REGEX
