There is currently a fminunc in the optimization package.  I used it 
successfully in some functions in the data-smoothing package.  Is it 
being considered?  Is there a reason to rewrite using sqp?  I'm simply 
curious since I don't really understand the internals of these functions.

Also, these optimization functions are in the optimization toolbox of 
Matlab.  It seems to me that we should keep them in a separate 
optimization package as well, rather than moving them to octave.
