I'll be happy to look into it.  It could be a bit problematic, though,
since the method requires gradients of internally constructed functions,
and I'm using the symbolic strength of Mathematica to do it; I could
look at getting some help from the user, or doing it numerically; I'll
see, but it will be months before I can get to it -- maybe for
Christmas?  /Joseph
