Fantastic, thanks!

I'll make sure the changes in this thread are included (i.e. move to
CXX11/) and I also have some smaller things I added locally - I'll send
that pull request in the next few days. Just a short question, since I'm
mainly used to github: Am I correct in assuming that you mean for me to
push my branch to bitbucket and then send a pull request via the web
interface?

Ok, great, then I'll wait and see what happens in Eigen Core, and once
you're (mostly) done with the refactoring, I'll adapt the new engine for
the tensor module. In the mean time, I could probably think about
TensorMap (esp. considering strides), which should be largely orthogonal
to what you're doing, as well as write some document which could be the
basis for a discussion on the API design for those parts which don't
already exist in the existing core.

Thanks again!

Cheers,
Christian
