This idea is to replace the underlying linear algebra library which are
BLAS/LAPACK by Eigen.
I wrote this quick page describing this:
http://wiki.scilab.org/Contributor_-_Eigen
Don't hesitate if you need anything on this page.

To tell you the truth, since I have no idea of the performance gain on
this library, a proposal about this subject should have some proof of
concept.
