%N Number of distinct Eisenstein primes in the factorization of n.
%C Equivalent of omega (A001221) in the ring of Eisenstein integers.
%C z is an Eisenstein prime iff z has prime norm or z is the product of a rational prime congruent to 2 modulo 3 and an Eisenstein unit (one of +-1 or (+-1 +- sqrt(3)*i)/2).
%C Associated Eisenstein prime divisors are counted only once.
%C Let s(n) be the smallest k with a(k) = n, then we have: s(0) = 1, s(1) = 2, s(2) = 6, s(2n-1) = 2*A121940(n-1), s(2n) = 6*A121940(n-1).

%F Additive with a(p^e) = 2 if p == 1 (mod 3), 1 otherwise.
%e Let w = (1 + sqrt(3)*i)/2, w' = (1 - sqrt(3)*i)/2.
%e Over the Gaussian integers, 5187 = 3*7*13*19 is factored as w'*(1 + w)^2*(2 + w)*(2 + w')*(3 + w)*(3 + w')*(3 + 2w)*(3 + 2w'), the distinct Eisenstein prime factors are 1 + w, 2 + w, 2 + w', 3 + w, 3 + w', 3 + 2w and 3 + 2w', so a(5187) = 7.
%e Over the Gaussian integers, 1006655265000 = 2^3*3^2*5^4*7^5*11^3 is factored as w'^2*(1 + w)^4*2^3*(2 + w)*(2 + w')*5^4*11^3, the distinct Eisenstein prime factors are 1 + w, 2, 2 + w, 2 + w', 5 and 11, so a(1006655265000) = 6.
