Looking at this project (http://www.savarese.com/software/libssrckdtree/) I found the definition "C++ header-only template library". At the moment I have basic C++ knowledge but would like to know what this exactly means and why this people use it on this project

c++ templates header-only

It means that you do not have to link any external libraries during the linking phase of your development. You only have to download the library and use #include macros to use the library. It simplifies deployment of your application down the road, but sometimes at the expense of longer compiler times.
