So how about using MTL 3.0 then as a starting point for the Boost
library.
I even suggest to boostify it now so that boost person-power
can be added to the effort.

You also mentioned/suggested that a layered approach should be taken :
a linear algebra lib on top of a general matrix lib (matrix lib users
will only find the LA functionality bloat). I totally agree with this
approach. Is this also the way it's implemented in MTL 3.0 currently ?
