MPLS TE with EIGRP is now possible

Hi fellas,

I found something with respect to MPLS Traffic Engineering working with
EIGRP. I just tried out EIGRP as my IGP in the core and formed a tunnel
between two PE and made changes with respect to IGP flow of traffic. and
found TE tunnel working like a charm.
Can someone say how this is posssible.
I just used a keyword VERBATIM after the path option under the tunnel
interface.

Can someone tell me the logic of how TE utilize the database of the end to
end tunnel without having the complete view of the topology.

Because EIGRP works with Routing by rumor. So how could this happen with
Traffic Engineering where OSPF n ISIS provides necessary LSA's and extended
TLV's to convey the bandwidth information.

can anyone explain me the logic of this VERBATIM command in the path option?
