Hi Andrius, Thorsten,

I concur. And I think I resolved the issues. Andrius may try to upload 
again.

About that regex issue, see 
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=86164

It is a long standing issue and it is a bit frustrating this isn't fixed 
yet. Using the newest header-only boost regex was a very nice solution 
avoiding a dependency on runtime libraries. I understand this is not an 
issue with Debian packages, but it is a very big issue with code 
distributed directly to the average user of my software.
