Andrea Gavana kindly made the code to the benchmark suite available.  I'm
modifying to a form for inclusion into scipy:
https://github.com/andyfaff/scipy/tree/go_benchmark/scipy/optimize/benchmarks.
As we speak I'm running the test optimization functions (I added a few and
modified some) for basinhopping, differential_evolution and anneal.
I'll put these up in a Gist in the next day or so.
