Created Release: Math.NET Numerics v2.4.0 (Feb 03, 2013)

• Drops the dependency on the zlib library. We thus no longer have any dependencies on other packages.
• Adds Modified Bessel & Struve special functions
• Fixes a bug in our iterative kurtosis statistics formula

Linear Algebra:

• Performance work, this time mostly around accessing matrix rows/columns as vectors. Opting out from targeted patching in our matrix and vector indexers to allow inlining.
• Fixes an issue around Thin-QR solve
• Simplifications around using native linear algebra providers (more details to be added here later)

F#:

• Adds the BigRational module from the F# PowerPack, now to be maintained here instead.
• Better support for our Complex types (close to the F# PowerPack Complex type)

Thanks a lot for all the contributions, notably from Marcus Cuda, Gustavo Guerra, Artyom Baranovskiy, Thomas Ibel and Wayne Wu.
