[Tom Dimiduk <tdimiduk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have at least basic fitting hooked up with the new scattering 
infrastructure in the dev codebase.

A couple of examples of using this are holopy/tests/test_fit.py. 
Superposition fitting and fitting using openopt solvers are at least 
nominally working.

The new code does not use input decks at the moment, you just call a fit 
function and pass it your guess, limits, choice of fitting algorithm, 
etc.  This should be a much more flexible way of doing things, if people 
still want input decks, I think a front end which accepts them would be 
relatively easy to write.  The new interface may be elegant enough that 
you can just use simple python scripts as your batch files.

I just made a bunch of decisions about how to do things like parameter 
limits, what values are returned, how parameters are scaled, ..., if 
anyone has better suggestions, I am happy to hear them.
