Yes -- there isn't much yet in RcppArmadillo but this is expected to
grow. And CRAN now has rARPACK so we get cheaply to the object code too.

One last comment I should have made earlier: "dense" data from R comes over
cheaply as a SEXP; "sparse" will always require a copy.  Keep that in mind,
and on the margin don't believe anything any of us say but keep profiling and
measuring :)
