Actually it seems that boost is not far behind:
string litex(".|*?+(){}[]^$\\");
string fmt("\\\\$&");
boost::RegEx reg("[]\\\\.|*?+(){}\\[^$]");
string res = reg.Merge(litex, fmt);
cout << "In: " << litex << "\nOut: " << res << endl;
It seems that only ']' and '\' need to be escaped.
(and the preprocessor help to make it look a bit ugly)
