Hi Umut,

I'm using the copy-constructor to change the order of the matrix, but I run into a memory problem, because I use very large matrices with around 10^6 - 10^9 (in some cases 10^12) non-zero elements, so with the copy constructor I duplicate the matrix data. I need only an iterator or something else for a column-major access without duplicating
