3. Better hyperlinking to code and class documentation.
4. New robust estimation example.
5. Better naming of example code.
6. Removed dependency on gflags in all the core examples covered

More small changes to the docs.
1. Better landing page.
2. Minor tweaks to the side bar.
3. Reference to more example code.
4. Local MathJax references.

A live version of the doc can be found at
http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~sagarwal/ceres-solver/
As it stands, the documentation has better hyperlinking
and coverage than the latex documentation now.

Add automatic recursive independent set decomposition.
Clean up the naming and the API for inner iterations.

The snavely reprojection error is wrong both in the sample code and
in the documentation. It should not multiply by the focal length
before calculating the distortion.

Remove the old ordering API, and modify solver_impl.cc
to use the new API everywhere.
In the process also clean up the linear solver instantion
logic in solver_impl.cc a bit too.

1. Added CRSMatrix object which will store the initial
and final jacobians if requested by the user.
2. Conversion routine and test for converting a
CompressedRowSparseMatrix to CRSMatrix.
3. New Evaluator::Evaluate function to do the actual evaluation.
4. Changes to Program::StateVectorToParmeterBlocks and
Program::SetParameterBlockStatePtrstoUserStatePtrs so that
they do not try to set the state of constant parameter blocks.
5. Tests for Evaluator::Evaluate.
6. Minor cleanups in SolverImpl.
7. Minor cpplint cleanups triggered by this CL.

The hello world example, quadratic.cc and its description
in the tutorial were out of sync and led to some confusion
about the convergence behaviour. This change fixes the tex
file to match the code and discusses whats actually going
on when determining convergence.
Thanks to Nick Lewycky for reporting this.

1. Document the use of dogleg and a general discussion of
trust region methods.
2. Added a TBD section on compiler/linker flags.
3. Summary::FullReport now prints out sparse_linear_algebra_library
and trust_region_strategy_type.

1. Split into two parts - Tutorial & Reference.
2. Reference is split into Modeling and Solving.
3. Build instructions now mention CXSparse.

In some cases the Levenberg-Marquardt can oscillate between,
two values of the regularizer mu. A small value which causes
the linear solver to fail and a higher value at which the solver
makes progress. This can cause significant wastage of solver
effort, and mu should just be clamped to some value.
This CL provides this setting as Solver::Options::min_mu,
and updates the documentation to reflect this.
Building Ceres requires version 0.3.1 or better of glog.
Fedora 16 ships with a busted version 0.3.
issue 15 contains the gory details.
Added a note to the build documentation to this effect.
