Hello Abhinav,

When you modify a file in src/, it will automatically be updated in
build/include/ when you 'make mlpack_test' (or 'make mlpack').  If you
are adding a new file, modify the CMakeLists.txt in that directory and
add the new file to the list of sources.  Then when you type 'make
mlpack_test' (or 'make mlpack') CMake will automatically update the
files it needs to build and the file you added will be built into mlpack
and copied to build/include/.

Also, you should probably make your change against svn trunk, not mlpack
1.0.7.  You can check that out using subversion from the repository at
http://svn.cc.gatech.edu/fastlab/mlpack/trunk/.

Hope that helps.

Ryan
