Unfortunately, C++ template metaprogramming is not very friendly to
exchanging library interfaces at this point, free functions would be a
lot easier.

Sure, that's what the mailinglists are for :-)
If you have a bunch of smaller questions which require back&forth, we
can also meet in the #viennaCL IRC channel at freenode if you want. Just
let me know when to turn up.
Best regards,
Karli
