Hi,

I have created a git repository to receive the Boost.Tweener library.
It is currently located at
git://libclaw.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/libclaw/boost-tweener
(gitweb:
http://libclaw.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=libclaw/boost-tweener;a=summary)

I have started the templatization of the classes. Most easing functions
are not template yet (only easing_none and easing_bounce are template)
but will be in a few days. single_tweener has two template parameters,
which are the type V of the tweened values and the scalar type S
associated with V. All other classes do not need V and use only S.

There are some points on which I would like to have a feedback:

1. single_tweener takes a reference to std::swap<V> (see line 90 of
single_tweener.ipp):

  boost::bind( &std::swap<value_type>, boost::ref(val), _1 );

On the non-template version, value_type was double and this line caused
a compilation error on Mac:
  
  error: no matching function for call to 'bind(<unresolved overloaded
  function type>, const boost::reference_wrapper<double>,
  boost::arg<1>&)'*

The workaround was to use a custom non-template swap function. Do you
have an idea on how to avoid the same issue in the new code?

2. The current directory structure looks like this:
.
├── include
│   └── boost
│       └── tweener
│           ├── detail
│           │   └── impl
│           │       └── easing
│           └── easing
└── test

There is also a doc and examples folder but they are currently empty and
thus not in the git repository. I'm not sure about the
detail/impl/easing tree. Should I put the implementation of the easing
functions in boost/tweener/easing/detail/impl instead?

3. Is there a prefered place to store the git repository?

Regards,

Julien Jorge
