 MLPACK contains a lot of names of packages that could be possibly
 dangerous in the context of package managers: 'nbc', 'nca', and so forth;
 these names could already be in use for other applications.

 A prefix is one way to solve this problem: 'mlpack_nbc', 'mlpack_nca', and
 so forth.
 Another way to solve the problem is to create a standalone executable
 'mlpack' which holds all the functionality in it: e.g. 'mlpack allknn
 --options...'.  That executable could probably be generated entirely with
 CMake magic... maybe.

 Does anyone have any opinions on how this should be handled?
