  Hello,
  
  I have rewritten some unconstrained minimization tools. 

  * Without derivatives : Nelder-Mead (function "nelder_mead_min").
  * With first derivatives : Conjugate Gradient (function "cg_min").
  * With first and second derivatives : Newton-like method (function 
    "d2_min").
  * A wrapper for the three functions above : the "minimize" function.

  Cheers,

  Etienne
