Re: [eigen] [history] 4 years already!!

Wow, amazing! Thanks a lot to all the Eigen developers, it is amazing to be able to count on such an amazing 'library'.

It is hard to believe that Eigen is open source, beating other open-source and commercial libraries in many aspects in both speed, ease of use and documentation!

Congrats everyone!

The initial revision (was rewritten from scratch a few times since):
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdesupport/eigen/?pathrev=566972

if you look at the first 3 weeks of commit history, you'll see 2 names
you might not know: Casper Boemann and Inge Wallin are KDE and KOffice
developers. CC'ing them for celebration value. Hello Casper and Inge!

The last rewrite from scratch (at the beginning of eigen2), itself,
occured nearly 2 years ago:
