[Boost-users] [BGL] direct access to compressed_sparse_row vectors?

In the header file I find:

  // private: non-portable, requires friend templates
  --cut--
  std::vector<EdgeIndex> m_rowstart;
  std::vector<Vertex> m_column;

I already have a graph stored as a BGL adjacency_list and now I want to use
a 3rd-party library (SCOTCH) which takes its input also in the CSR format.
As I can see from the docs, there is no standardized interface to retrieve
the raw CSR representation.  This way, I either have to rely on the above
members not being private, or myself effectively duplicating the already
existing code for constructing the CSR representation.  Am I overlooking
something?
