Re: [boost] interest on a geometry library - quaternions?

apparently boost already has quaternions:

http://www.boost.org/libs/math/quaternion/quaternion.html

but they are completely useless when speaking about geometry and 3D
operations. I don't know whether we should supply our own quaterion
class inside boost::geometry (I'm talking about Andy's geometryAL_01.zip
from vault), or extend existing boost::math::quaternion so that it can be
mutiplied by boost::geometry::three_d::vect to acheive rotation.

extending existing quaternion class seems a better solution. Any ideas
how to start with that?

I have that function operator*(quaternion&, vector&) right here, just
where to put it?
