Nice work! Installs and runs fine. Does create a million warnings under my compiler settings (ie -Wall -pedantic ) some of which of course come from MLPACK and/or Boost. And smart how you just added the little bit from Boost we don't have in BH (program_options). Should the cpp files in inst/include be in src/, or maybe src/mlpack instead? It may be less than ideal that the kmeans example hides the base function. Maybe make it mlKmeans, or keep it unexported, or ... ?
