[Help-gsl] simulated annealing package

[Marco Maggi]

Ciao,

  I  have uploaded  to the  download area[1]  of  GEE[2] the
first revision  of Annealing, an  attempt to rework  the GSL
implementation of the simulated annealing algorithm.

  I have done some guess work on the Boltzmann distribution,
so I welcome corrections on the matter.

  The way I have solved  the test problems should make clear
why I have  changed the API. The code is  really small, so I
think that it can coexist with the current interface.

  I have  removed the  counters for statistics  purpose that
are defined but not accessible in the "siman.c" module; they
can be  added easily.  I dunno  what data is  required to do
meaningful statistics  and I do not  have much time  to do a
research, so I welcome suggestions.
