Thanks for the good feedback. Please consider the attached
patch.
Hi Mark,
Thanks for the patch.

I think machine-learning.scm would be a good home for this
package, so a new file wouldn't be needed.

The last release is 129 commits behind and it has been some
time, so I think you are right - we should package from a git
commit.
Usually we package from git using this style though (i.e.
reason for not using the release, use of 'file-name', and a
version that includes the last release followed by
'-1.<commit>').
;; There are no recent releases so we package from git.

I see from the website:
Once you have installed the library you
can test it out by going to the examples directory and type make
runtest
, which will compile the examples and run a
few of them to test that everything is working.
Is that possible? Ideally, since there are tests it would
be good to run them.

Otherwise LGTM. Can you send an updated patch please?
