I still think that in the case of eigen, it makes a lot of sense to make 
eigen2 an svn external module in KOffice. Nothing in eigen2 needs to be 
packaged, we just need to have it around to compile. That way, we're always up 
to date, development is easy for us and for Benoit who doesn't have to limit 
his work to what's already in eigen.

The only price is another little hickup when doing svn up, after kdgantt gets 
updated.
