Detailed Description

template<class EOT>
class eoEasyEA< EOT >

An easy-to-use evolutionary algorithm; you can use any chromosome, and any selection transformation, merging and evaluation algorithms; you can even change in runtime parameters of those sub-algorithms.

Change (MS, July 3. 2001): Replaced the eoEvalFunc by an eoPopEvalFunc: this immediately allows many useful constructs, such as co-evolution (e.g. game players), parisian approach (the solution to the problem is the whole population) or simple distribution of evaluations on a cluster. In case an eoEvalFunc is passed, it is embedded on an eoPopLoopEval This makes things a little uglier (required an additional "dummy" member

Note: it looks ugly only because we wanted to authorize many different constructors. Please only look at the operator() and there shall be light
