10063	Option should exist to include ublas entirely from headers without linking to serialization	Andrew Medlin <andrew@…>	Gunter	"If you include certain ublas files which you wish to include as headers only without linking to prebuilt libs, you get link errors wanting to link to prebuild serialization library.

This problem occurred for example when I included the following in my application:

{{{
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/fwd.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/vector.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/vector_sparse.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/matrix_sparse.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/storage_sparse.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/banded.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/triangular.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/blas.hpp>
#include <boost/numeric/ublas/lu.hpp>

}}}


The attached patch introduces an option BOOST_UBLAS_DISABLE_SERIALIZATION which (if defined using a #define) excludes the serialization code.

The serialization code is unwanted on my platform for ublas objects, as the platform is obscure and difficult to build the serialization library for it.
