[ITP] CppAD (C++ Algorithmic Differentiation)

[Brad Bell]

CppAD: C++ algorithmic differentiation by operator overloading.

I would like to propose the new cygwin package CppAD and I would like to
be the maintainer of this package.

I am the project manager for CppAD and you can find out information about
it and its development at
    http://www.coin-or.org/CppAD/

I have placed the package for review at the web address
    http://www.seanet.com/~bradbell/cppad/
which contains the files
    cppad-20061208-1-src.tar.bz2
    cppad-20061208-1.tar.bz2
    setup.hint
I think that that these files are greatly improved with respect to my 
previous
[ITP] of CppAD; see
    http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2006-08/msg00098.html

This package is not currently included in a major Linux distribution,
hence it requires five positive votes from package maintainers in order
to be accepted.

Thank you in advance for you time in considering this package.

# To test the source or binary distribution, copy the source 
distribution file
#    cppad-20061208-1/get_started/get_started.cpp
# to a temporary directory and execute the commands
#    g++ get_started.cpp -o get_started.exe
#    ./get_started
# the resulting output should be
#    y'(3) computed by CppAD = 142

# Requires a standard compliant C++ compiler; e.g., gcc-g++.
