[R] IMSL Wrapper

[Manoj]

Dear All,
    Thanks for your replies and interest so far.

    I guess R pretty much covers most of what imsl offers but the area
that I really wanted to test imsl out was in the optimization
functions. Though the imsl functions are not as rich as NUOPT (which
is quite expensive) , imsl c v6 claims that it's much faster and
solves a broader range of problems hence the need for a wrapper.

Cheers

Manoj
