Matrix Template Library

[address@hidden]

About one year ago I have used a specialised library for matrix 
manipulation in c++.
Called "The Matrix Template Library".
The idea behind this library is to programm it on a similar way to 
the STL. Some performance comparisions on the MTL-page shows you that 
this is as fast as fortran code.
The license is "The MTL "Artistic License"" which seems to be 
similar to the lgpl. The homepage isn't up to date but you can find 
it here

maybe this library can be used to improve octave in any way.
