(1) the mechanism to call 'fn' and 'gr' in parallel

(1) 'fn'. 'gr' can now be functions from other packages 
    calling compiled code, e.g., 
    optimParallel(par=1, fn=dnorm, mean=3)

- version 0.7-3: bug fix
commit 01ebb9016000a7b087c01b190db0b7ab9d4778d6
Author: Florian Gerber <florian.gerber@math.uzh.ch>

(1) indexing 'par' by names inside 'fn' works now. 
    e.g. optimParallel(par=c(a=1), fn <- function(x) {x["a"]^2})
(2) using functions and method from loaded packages works now.
    'fn' and 'gr' have now .GlobalEnv as parent environment.
(3) the default value for the argument 'method' is now "L-BFGS-B".
(4) the help page ?optimParallel contains a new section 'Notes' 
    summarizing considerations for the practical use.
