Description : C++ template container implementation of kd-tree sorting.
After having received no replies to [0] I herewith propose to go
ahead with the packaging.

Quoting the referenced message:
I have written a C++ template library for KD-Trees, trying to stay
as close as possible to STL containers. The library is not (yet)
complete and it's not thoroughly tested. However, given the effort
and grief I went through in writing it, I would like to make it
available to folks, get people to test it, and hopefully have some
peeps submit improvements.
It
- sports an unlimited number of dimensions (in theory)
- can store any data structure, provided the data structure provides
operator[0 - k-1] to access the individual dimensional
components (arrays, std::vector already do) and a std::less
implementation for the type of dimensional components
- has support for custom allocators
- implements iterators
- provides standard find as well as range queries
- has amortised O(lg n) time (O(n lg n) worst case) on most
operations (insert/erase/find optimised) and worst-case O(n) space.
- provides a means to rebalance and thus optimise the tree.
- exists in its own namespace
- uses STL coding style, basing a lot of the code on stl_tree.h
So the question is: should I/can I package it for Debian?
It's not yet documented, although the usage should be fairly
straight forward. I am hoping to find someone else to document it as
I suck at documentation and as the author, it's exceptionally
difficult to stay didactically correct.
It's just 6 .hpp files, so it would be a -dev package without
a .so or .a file. Other than installing the 6 .hpp files into
/usr/include/kdtree++, providing pkg-config files and a -config
Due to time constraints and lack of infrastructure, original source
code is available upon request for now. The Debian package is being
worked on.
