   GSLMinimizer class.
   Implementation of the ROOT::Math::Minimizer interface using the GSL multi-dimensional
   minimization algorithms.
 
   See <A HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Multidimensional-Minimization.html">GSL doc</A>
   from more info on the GSL minimization algorithms.
 
   The class implements the ROOT::Math::Minimizer interface and can be instantiated using the
   ROOT plugin manager (plugin name is "GSLMultiMin"). The varius minimization algorithms
   (conjugatefr, conjugatepr, bfgs, etc..) can be passed as enumerations and also as a string.
   The default algorithm is conjugatefr (Fletcher-Reeves conjugate gradient algorithm).
