Eigen 3.0-beta2 is what we have been using.

For ANN, we use 1.1.2, but we apply a few patches to it first. I've
attached these patches. You need to apply them in this order, or they
won't apply correctly:

1. gcc43_shared.patch
2. fPIC.patch
3. distance.patch

FLANN is making rapid improvements so hopefully we will be able to
remove ANN by the next minor release.
