It is not standard conforming.

This file must have missed when deleting th backwards compatible code.

This patch removes the constructor from the overload set.
Before the constructor was there but failed to compile
due to the static assertion.

If you have methods f(K) and f(FieldVector<K,n>) with
n>1 the overload was ambigous when calling f() with
a FieldVector<K,1> because there is a conversion
from this to FieldVector<K,n> - even if it does not
compile due to the failing static assertion.

Now this is avoided using SFINAE. This fixes fs#1024.

Only standard-conforming methods are supported from now on.

a) it appears overly complicated.  Why not just use '=='?
b) it is never used anyway

so it matches the name of its source file.

Use flags as documented in axlapack for linking with lapack. Now test should compile with static linkage on nonbroken systems. (My system Debian wheezy is obviouly broken and complains about function xerbla_ that is defined in libblas.a and liblapack.a)

tests.
Note that this breaks static compilation of fmatrixtest because of missing fortran library names in LAPACK_LIBS!

also use AS_IF instead of direct shell commands (more portable)
