Whiteboard

MTL4 is broken again. I'd say that that's the nail in the coffin.

Update: The ML4 developers have made a big effort to get MTL4 building with our strict compiler flags, so let's stick with MTL4. Furthermore, uBLAS is looking shaky and somewhat rudderless, so we may in the future want to default to MTL4 in place of uBLAS.
