Some external sources are needed to make full use of our MLP software,
namely:

  - Matlab version of the Solvopt solver
    http://www.kfunigraz.ac.at/imawww/kuntsevich/solvopt/

  - Some of the UCI Machine Learning Repository datasets
    http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/

The patch ``solvopt.diff`` needs to be applied and the patched file
renamed to ``solvoptWithParams.m`` instead of original ``solvopt.m``.

The script get_externals.sh can be used if you have the usual command
line tools (such as bash, wget, unzip, gunzip, tar, and patch).
