  TaoLineSearchApply - Performs a line-search in a given step direction.  Criteria for acceptable step length depends on the line-search algorithm chosen

  Collective on TaoLineSearch

  Input Parameters:

- s - search direction

  Input/Output Parameters:

  Output Parameters:
+ x - On input the current solution, on output x contains the new solution determined by the line search
. f - On input the objective function value at current solution, on output contains the objective function value at new solution
. g - On input the gradient evaluated at x, on output contains the gradient at new solution
. steplength - scalar multiplier of s used ( x = x0 + steplength * x)
- reason - reason why the line-search stopped

  Notes:
  reason will be set to one of:

+ TAOLINESEARCH_FAILED_ASCENT - initial line search step * g is not descent direction
. TAOLINESEARCH_FAILED_INFORNAN - function evaluation gives Inf or Nan value
. TAOLINESEARCH_FAILED_BADPARAMETER - negative value set as parameter
. TAOLINESEARCH_HALTED_MAXFCN - maximum number of function evaluation reached
. TAOLINESEARCH_HALTED_UPPERBOUND - step is at upper bound
. TAOLINESEARCH_HALTED_LOWERBOUND - step is at lower bound
. TAOLINESEARCH_HALTED_RTOL - range of uncertainty is smaller than given tolerance
. TAOLINESEARCH_HALTED_USER - user can set this reason to stop line search
. TAOLINESEARCH_HALTED_OTHER - any other reason
- TAOLINESEARCH_SUCCESS - successful line search

  The algorithm developer must set up the TaoLineSearch with calls to

  You may or may not need to follow this with a call to

  Sometimes it is more efficient to compute the inner product of the gradient

  the line search typically needs of the gradient.

- ctx - the (optional) user-defined context for private data

. s - step direction
. f - function value
. gts - inner product of gradient and step direction vectors
- ctx (optional) user-defined context

  Note: The gradient will still need to be computed at the end of the line

  routine

  don't use g's directly, but rather (g'x - g'x0)/steplength.  You can get the
