<longdescription lang="en">
  NLopt is a library for nonlinear optimization,
  providing a common interface for a number of different free
  optimization routines available online as well as original
  implementations of various other algorithms. Its features include:
    * Callable from C, C++, Fortran, GNU Octave, and Matlab.
    * A common interface for many different algorithms—try a different
    algorithm just by changing one parameter.
    * Both global and local optimization algorithms.
    * Both derivative-free and gradient-based optimization algorithms.
    * Algorithms for unconstrained optimization, bound-constrained
    optimization, and general nonlinear inequality constraints.
    * Free/open-source software under the GNU LGPL (and looser
    licenses for some portions of NLopt).
