Move optimization and likelihood into C++ #25

This can be implemented on a by-fitting-function basis. I'd prefer that we do this through Rcpp -- maybe in combination with GSL.

Another idea I'm tossing around is using ADMB as an engine now that it's free software.

Yes, I've been using ADMB for a little while and a solution might be:

Use tpl2rem to generate C++ code and then call this code using Rcpp. This approach should be cross-platform, but requires the inclusion of ADMB libraries -- should be OK with the BSD license?
