Now that we have the BH package (for really easy access to Boost by using Boost headers via this CRAN package) I was thinking about a use case for Boost regex and file reading, but haven't had time to do anything about it. Other than Boost, we could possibly get access to the regexp libraries already linked into R. What use case did you have in mind?
I searched BH for regex and found nothing so I don't think BH includes Boost.Regex. Ideally that would be accessible as well as the tre, pcre (and Henry Spencer routines via Tcl) that R itself uses.
