[ublas] uBlas lapack & clapack & atlas bindings question

hi all,

I'm not quite sure whether this is the right place where to put my question, lets give it a try. 

I think there is a macro (re-)definition bug in the ublas bindings concerning clapack, lapack & atlas. 

Consider a class that uses both clapack and lapack routines. If matrices storage layout is mixed (which ist a must, then), either row-based for proper use with clapack&atlas or column-based for use with lapack and both headerfiles 
        #include <boost/numeric/bindings/atlas/clapack.hpp>
        #include <boost/numeric/bindings/lapack/lapack.hpp>
are included within one msvc7.1 project the macro BOOST_NUMERIC_BINDINGS_FORTRAN defaults to true and subsequent checks for routines using row-major will fail with boost::STATIC_ASSERTION_FAILURE.

However, if the macro BOOST_NUMERIC_BINDINGS_NO_STRUCTURE_CHECK is defined globally compilation completes sucessfully and resulting code seems to work as expected.

Is this by design, my fault (I hope so) or a bug?

best regards,
carsten
