Sundials/ML: OCaml interface to Sundials Numeric Solvers

Participants : Timothy Bourke, Marc Pouzet.

This year we made major updates to the Sundials/ML OCaml interface to support v3.1.x of the Sundials Suite of numerical solvers.

This release adds support for the new generic matrix and linear solver interfaces. Major work was required to add these new modules, update the existing solver interfaces, and ensure backwards compatibility with Sundials to v2.7.0 (which is still the version installed by Debian stable). We also improved our treatment of integer types used in indexing, refactored the Dls and Sls matrix modules, improved our generation of performance stats (by adding confidence intervals), made the configure script more robust, and untangle the mass-solver and Jacobian interfaces of the ARKODE solver.
