Hi,

I'm using an automatic differentiation package to get analytic Jacobians
and Hessians for my objective function.  I see from [1] and the API
reference that no NLopt algorithms currently support passing a function
to compute the Hessian (they all approximate it).

Are there any plans for adding this functionality?  

I had a look at slsqp.c from nlopt-2.2.4, but it looks like adding it
myself would be a pretty serious undertaking.  Note that unlike in [1],
I'm not optimizing functions of millions of variables; my application is
closer to 100.

Thanks,

Matt Peddie
