As I explained, a classic implementation of FFT will be useful, but it
is not yet really.
First, we need to get (discuss, design and implement) the FFT
adaptation support.

If you are dying hard to submit such FFT to GIL soon, then it could be
accepted as
as an example (.hpp & .cpp files similar to the interleaved_ptr.hpp|cpp)
or as an extension in boost/gil/extension (with tests and docs!).
That, however, still does not qualify for a GSoC project.

Sounds good, just please keep in mind that for competency we do not ask you
to deliver fully-featured, tested and documented implementation of an algorithm.
Leave some work for the actual GSoC :-)
