It turns out that GMM is part of a larger library, GetFem++. The GMM devs 
aren't interested in having GMM released as a separate package, except for a 
source tarball. Instead, they recommend us to copy the sources.

We're thinking of copying GMM source files into Eigen itself and add a 
Eigen-GMM wrapper, so that, as seen from the rest of KDE, it would look like 
there's only Eigen. I know you disagreed with creating a kdesupport/gmm 
directory, but would you agree with creating a kdesupport/eigen/gmm 
directory?

What's more, for now, we only need a small part of GMM. So, for now, we only 
need to copy a few GMM files, not the whole thing. Does that make a 
difference for you? I mean, even if you don't want a full copy of GMM in 
KDE's SVN repository, I still hope you'd be OK for a few files.

Benoit
