Real quick:

numeric/ublas/lu.hpp will not compile on its own, it requires at least operation.hpp for the symbol axpy_prod<>. In the absence of examples, one of my users included matrix.hpp , vector.hpp, and lu.hpp intending to do some lu-decompositions, and was stymied when the headers wouldn't compile. As lu.hpp is not included from anywhere else, it appears that it is *not* a header that is designed not to be used directly... I asked on #boost, can't come up with an explanation, therefore submit as bug^-2

real quick too than: we're going to deal with it. All headers should be self-contained but OTOH we want to reduce dependencies (to minimise compilation time). Currently not all headers are self-contained and we are going to resolve that situation but we *need to take our time* ;-) to do it properly.
