#        N-dimensional space.

#
# \section{Wishlist}{
#   The current interface from R is very ad hoc; it dumps all data to
#   file(s), calls 'cfit' with the correct parameters via \code{pipe()}
#   (see @see "base::connections") and parses the output files from 'cfit'.
#   Ideally, we would link the cfit code to R via \code{.Call()} (see
#   @see "base::Foreign"), but that is for the future.  The current
#   solutions has been verified to work on Windows XP, Linux and OSX.

#   The algorithm and its C source code implementation is work
