I'm not sure whether you stand any chance of compiling uBlas with CB2007, but if
I remember correctly that specific workaround should not be necessary with
CB2007 and CB2009 so you might try and change the macros that control it so that
it is only used when __BORLANDC__ is less than 0x593

Borland/CodeGear customers wishing to use Boost in their code tend to find the
following useful:
