RMinimizer class.
Minimizer class that uses the ROOT/R interface to pass functions and minimize them in R.
The class implements the ROOT::Math::Minimizer interface and can be instantiated using the ROOT plugin manager (plugin name is "RMinimizer"). The various minimization algorithms (BFGS, Nelder-Mead, SANN, etc..) can be passed as an option. The default algorithm is BFGS.
The library for this and future R/ROOT classes is currently libRtools.so
