ANNOUNCE: Nelder-Mead Simplex Algorithm and FFTW update

[Travis Oliphant]

I'm just letting interested people know that I have updated the FFTW
packages on my website at http://oliphant.netpedia.net to reflect the
latest version of FFTW (2.1.3)

I've also begun an optimization module (called optimize.py for now) for
optimizing functions.  Currently, it only contains a minimization
algorithm for a function of many variables (the Nelder-Mead simplex
algorithm).  The license for this file is essentially public domain with a
request for acknowledgement.
