Making progress; not there yet
Now the test script works. Next I'll get the super_script.m running w/o Python I/O
Updated super_script.m ; Now I'll try to run it w/ DAKOTA
The super_script runs with dakota_matlab.in for many iterations (presently 95) and seems to be converging. At the least, the obj fxn is sensitive to the inputs.
