+Linear Least squares curve fitting package.
+Contains routines to fit Legendre and Chebyshev polynomials and linear
+cubic splines in the least squares sense to 1-dimensional data.
+The normal equations are accumulated and solved using Cholesky factorization.
+The package contains separate entry points for accumulating points,
+solving the matrix equations, rejecting points and evaluating the curve.
