Bug#135544: wnpp: ITP: minpack from netlib

["James R. Van Zandt" <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A
Severity: wishlist

I intend to package "minpack" from netlib, the optimization programs
using the methods of Levenberg-Marquardt (for nonlinear least-squares
problems) and Powell (for general root finding).  So far I've needed
to make no changes to the FORTRAN code from netlib.  I've
autoconfiscated, automakified, libtoolized, and added man pages and C
header files.  My draft package names are "minpack1" for the shared
library and "minpack-dev" for the headers, static library, and docs.
