[ublas] compile problems

I'm trying to compile a code that uses uBLAS with the PGI compiler and 
having problems.  I understand that PGI is not one of the "supported" 
compilers, but the compile failure appears to be artificial.  In 
ublas/detail/config.hpp is the following line:

// Cannot continue with an unsupported compiler
#ifdef BOOST_UBLAS_UNSUPPORTED_COMPILER
#error Your compiler is unsupported by this verions of uBLAS. Boost 
1.32.0 includes uBLAS with support for many old compilers.
#endif

This causes immediate termination of my compile since my compiler is not 
recognized.  If I comment that line out, though, my compilation proceeds 
normally and I get valid executables.  Is there a recommended way to 
turn off those preprocessor lines?  More generally, is there a way for 
Boost to distinguish between compilers that are known to fail from 
compilers whose capability is unknown?
