Call C (or C++) with pointer to static function

[Michael Stover]

Thank you, I have checked them out.  Both SciD and dstats look useful.  We
would have to supplement with our own math libraries and bindings to various
C/Fortran libraries I think.   I am just exploring possibilities because of
the endless troubles we have with compiling and linking C++ code on Mac,
Linux, and Windows and thus why we've never compiled our math models (which
makes them really slow).  For estimation problems, it's just not workable
without compiling the model at runtime to native code.  It was my thought
that D would make the step easier and faster than C++.  But is does have to
work on Mac, Windows, and Linux user desktops.
