Re: package maintenance

Hi Ralf,

Here are my comments:
 
alsa          ?		upd. needs a serious update
audio         ok
audiofile     ?		upd.
blas          ok   (*)
cblas         dump
devices       ?		upd. a few things in there are useful
ffmpeg        upd
fftw          upd
gblearn2      ?		upd. people use this. Should be easy to update. 
gblearning    ?		dump. obsolete
gnuplot       ok
gsl           ?		much of this should be folded into libnum
inventor      upd	probably dump. Is anyone using it?
jpeg          upd	upd. should work with minor changes
lapack        ok   (*)
libnum        ok
libsvm        upd
mpi           ?		dump. can be dumped (or completely rewritten)
music         ?		upd. should work with minor changes
opencv        dump
opencv2       ok
opengl        upd
optim         ok
sdl           upd
sdlgames      upd
sn28          upd
svm           upd
torch         dump
video         upd
video4linux   upd

A wiki would be nice.
