RFC:  Example showing how to write a least-squares polynomial fit in Julia 

I have written a simple program which performs least squares fitting.  This is meant to be a stand-alone example of how to use Juila to solve a simple, but not trivial mathematical problem.  it is aimed at Julia beginners.  I envision this could become a classroom example of how to use Julia.

This example follows the methods discussed on Wikipedia:
