Imho, GridFlow doesn't have enough actual linear algebra in it. The 
strength is in something more general than linear algebra, which I could 
call "grid algebra", which doesn't just involve linear operations. The two 
most common linear algebra operations that are still missing are matrix 
inversion and eigendecomposition. Coming soon... using OpenCV.

I have, some years ago, but James Tittle was more the expert about GF on 
OSX.

I will help anyone is willing to try to make a package.
