Right now, there seem to be two copies.  One in src/math and one in
src/math/linreg

     
     I have two questions:
     
     - Should they be lib?

As I understand $top_srcdir/lib, it's meant for things that have a
reasonable chance of one day being released as an independent general
purpose library and have been written in such a way as to make that
possible. 

     - Linking happens in this order on the command line:
     
       ./src/math/libpspp_math.a ./src/math/linreg/libpspp_linreg.a
     
       but I had to reverse that so libpspp_linreg.a knew about 
coefficient.[ch].
       I'm not sure how to change this in the automake.mk's, and I'm not
       sure it should be changed if coefficient.[ch] belong in lib.
     

The lower level libraries should be specified last, so reversing the
order would be correct, I think.  This should be done in
src/ui/terminal/automake.mk
