Apart from adding 20Mb of shared libraries (boost regexp) to the viewer
package ?... There's strictly no good reason !

I vote for getting back to static libraries (the few regex functions that
get statically linked only take a few kilobytes in the viewer binary, when
the boost regex shared lib is enormous and 99% of it is usless to the
viewer !)
