Eigen, a shared linear algebra library for KDE apps

[Casper Boemann]

Hi

The developers of Kalzium, Kreative3D, KChart and Marble have a common need 
for a simple linear algebra library. We had a lengthy IRC discussion and 
searched existing libraries, but they are usually big, non C++ etc, and 
having big dependencies makes us afraid of being excluded from some distros. 

So we have decided to work together with the aim of creating a simple linear 
algebra library called Eigen (a little wordplay), which we would like to 
place within KDE.

The idea of the library is to create the interface we want and then copy 
actual code from the tons of math libs out there. Basically all we want is a 
Vector and a Matrix class and the usaual +, -, * operations plus dot product, 
crossed product, and a way to construct orthogonal vectors and bases.

We want Quaternions and functions to solve systems of linear equations, but 
that is it.

Main question is where in the KDE directory structure can we put this?
