=============
Fred, I don't know that answer, but the little research I've done into
auto-tuner algorithms suggests that it doesn't have to be too fancy -- some
version of Newton's method, or just a binary search. For a concrete example,
go to:

http://fermi.la.asu.edu/w9cf/tuner/tuner.html

It has a link to the Java code for a simple T-Network autotuner, so you can
follow the code and see exactly the algorithm used.
