Andrea,
thank you for making all that available, that's certainly a large amount of
work, wow.
For my part I am particularly interested in the benchmark suite and would
like to see that eventually included in scipy as a way of benchmarking
scipy.optimize.  I have a small amount of spare time to work on this and
would like to take this on.
Firstly, what do people think about inclusion of such a large set of
benchmarking functions to the code base for scipy.optimize? We have a small
amount, but could do with a lot more.

Secondly, Andrea, would you mind if I worked towards this end goal?

cheers,
Andrew.
