Hello,

I am currently maintaining the library ADOL-C hosted at [1], and would
like to see it included in the next openSUSE distribution.

The library enables a user to write C/C++ programs (or any other
language that can link with C/C++) for evaluating first and higher order
derivatives of scalar and vector valued functions at very little
additional cost (small constant factor) than the function evaluations
themselves, even for high dimensional functions. The library implements
the theory of Algorithmic Differentiation as described in [2]. We
distribute the library optionally under the GPLv2 or the CPL.

The library has been used and tested in recent years by a number of
people who are interested in numerical modelling and optimisation, and
has been included in the Debian distribution for some time [3].

I have prepared a package in the openSUSE Build Service and submitted it
to the devel:libraries:c_c++ project. Please consider including it into
openSUSE:Factory.

Thanks and regards.
