ok, ok

we didn't have plans to do such bad things. but some central parts of
eigen will see deep enough changes that one should not be surprised if
some breakage happens.

seeing how it is currently convenient when a kde dev reports a eigen
bug to be able to tell him "svn up trunk/kdesupport/eigen2" when
that's fixed, i'd say that i'm starting to see the point of having
trunk/KDE relying directly on /trunk/kdesupport.

So i'm myself not sure anymore what to think.
