sizeof(Scalar), and that assumption breaks with double on linux x86-32.
* Rename ei_alignmentOffset to ei_first_aligned
* Rewrite its documentation and part of its body
* The variant taking a MatrixBase doesn't need a separate size argument.
* renaming, e.g. LU ---> FullPivLU
* split tests framework: more robust, e.g. dont generate empty tests if a number is skipped
* make all remaining tests use that splitting, as needed.
* Fix 4x4 inversion (see stable branch)
* Transform::inverse() and geo_transform test : adapt to new inverse() API, it was also trying to instantiate inverse() for 3x4 matrices.
* CMakeLists: more robust regexp to parse the version number
* misc fixes in unit tests
all per plot settings have been moved to a single file, go_mean now takes an
optional second argument "tiny" to generate plots for tiny matrices, and
output of comparison information wrt to previous benchs (if any).
the modifications to initial code follow:
* changed build system from plain makefiles to cmake
* added eigen2 (4 versions: vec/novec and fixed/dynamic), GMM++, MTL4 interfaces
* added "transposed matrix * vector" product action
* updated blitz interface to use condensed products instead of hand coded loops
* removed some deprecated interfaces
* changed default storage order to column major for all libraries
* new generic bench timer strategy which is supposed to be more accurate
* various code clean-up
