#' Do internal model preparation for dynr

#' Principally, this function takes a host of arguments and gives back
#' a list that importantly includes the function addresses.
#' 
#' @param num_regime An integer number of the regimes.
#' @param dim_latent_var An integer number of the latent variables.
#' @param xstart The starting values for parameter estimation.
#' @param ub The upper bounds of the estimated parameters.
#' @param lb The lower bounds of the estimated parameters.
#' @param options A list of NLopt estimation options. By default, xtol_rel=1e-7, stopval=-9999, ftol_rel=-1, ftol_abs=-1, maxeval=as.integer(-1), and maxtime=-1.
#' @param isContinuousTime A binary flag indicating whether the model is a continuous-time model (FALSE/0 = no; TRUE/1 = yes)
#' @param infile Input file name
#' @param outfile Output file name
#' @param compileLib Whether to compile the libary anew
#' @param verbose Logical flag for verbose output
#' @return A list of model statements to be passed to dynr.cook().
