This means that, as far as the GSL API is concerned, you want to fit a
function with three parameters.  Additional parameters can be passed
via the void *params argument of the component f of the structure
gsl_multifit_function.  You may want to write one or more wrapper
routines that take a vector of parameters plus a boolean vector
indicating which parameters you want to vary as arguments and return
an appropriate gsl_multifit_function.
