[mesa-users] DIRect: global optimization for noisy problems

[Warrick Ball]

Jonathan,

Thanks!  Following your advice, I folded the DIRect source into the MESA 
makefile so that they're compiled the same way, and it all now compiles 
fine.  The function call seems to be working, so now it's just a case of 
fighting my way through initializing the call properly.

Cheers,
Warrick
