imported a reworked version of BTL (Benchmark for Templated Libraries).

the modifications to initial code follow:
* changed build system from plain makefiles to cmake
* added eigen2 (4 versions: vec/novec and fixed/dynamic), GMM++, MTL4 interfaces
* added "transposed matrix * vector" product action
* updated blitz interface to use condensed products instead of hand coded loops
* removed some deprecated interfaces
* changed default storage order to column major for all libraries
* new generic bench timer strategy which is supposed to be more accurate
* various code clean-up
