Adding eoPopEvalFunc, that handles evaluation globally: it receives

two populations, parents and offspring, and does whatever necessary.
The subclass eoPopLoopEval does the simple loop on the offspring.

eoEasyEA was subsequently modified to handle an eoPopEval passed in Ctor,
but also to encapsulate an eoEvalFunc into an eoPopLoopEval tranparently.

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
