[Ipopt] hessian option

[Brad Bell]

Is it possible to convert you evaluation of the energy function to C++ ? 
If so, you may be able to use algorithmic differentiation to compute 
your gradients and Hessians; see
    http://www.coin-or.org/CppAD/Doc/ipopt_cppad_nlp.xml
Take a look at the simple representation example
