I think iterative solution procedures should also be available.  Maybe
something like ITL?  I havent taken a serious look at ITL but I guess
you will know what I mean.  Personally, I'd be interested in dense
matrices and a means to solve it iteratively.  SVD of dense matrices
are also important.

As someone else mentioned earlier it would be really nice if there was
a Python interface for all this.
