  Description     : Scilab toolbox for artificial neural networks

 Current features
  - Only layered feedforward networks are supported *directly* at the moment
    (for others use the "hooks" provided)
  - Unlimited number of layers
  - Unlimited number of neurons per each layer separately
  - User defined activation function (defaults to logistic)
  - User defined error function (defaults to SSE)
  - Algorithms implemented so far:
    * standard (vanilla) with or without bias, on-line or batch
    * momentum with or without bias, on-line or batch
    * SuperSAB with or without bias, on-line or batch
    * Conjugate gradients
    * Jacobian computation
    * Computation of result of multiplication between "vector" and Hessian
  - Some helper functions provided
