DESCRIPTION
    LineSearch
     This is the base class for one dimensional
     line search algorithms. Some optimization
     algorithms need to find the optimimal point
     on one searching directions.
     Classes derived from this class inherit features of 
     LineSearch. This class cannot be used directly.
     See also LSearchOptima, CG, Powell.
    

DESCRIPTION
     Vector<double> gradient(m): compute the gradient Vector 
        for Model m;
     double evaluate(m): evaluate the objective function for 
        Model m;
     List<int> allSearchIterations(): number of iterations 
        for all line searches.
     int searchIterations(): number of iterations in the current 
        line search;
     double currentValue(): value of the objective function for
        the current Model;
     char* objName(): returns the class name of the objective
        function;
    

CAVEATS
     LineSearch currently only takes Models either double 
     or long integer. It is mostly because I tried to avoid using
     templates, due to the guliness of template features in G++. 
     Hopefully, this could be changed soon.
