Is this TNT that you talk about? It looks reasonable for SVD only, but it has a limited extendibility. My opinion depends on to what extends we will use a linear algebra package. If we have any other plans for implementing more complicated linear algebra, then I would like to vote for Boost ublas's binding since it will provide more functionality.
