%% function jac = dfxpdp (x, p, func[, hook])
%%
%% Returns Jacobian of func (p, x) with respect to p with finite
%% differencing. The optional argument hook is a structure which can
%% contain the following fields at the moment:
%%
%% hook.f: value of func(p, x) for p and x as given in the arguments
%%
%% hook.diffp: positive vector of fractional steps from given p in
%% finite differencing (actual steps may be smaller if bounds are
%% given). The default is .001 * ones (size (p));
%%
%% hook.diff_onesided: logical vector, indexing elements of p for
%% which only one-sided differences should be computed (faster); even
%% if not one-sided, differences might not be exactly central if
%% bounds are given. The default is false (size (p)).
%%
%% hook.fixed: logical vector, indexing elements of p for which zero
%% should be returned instead of the guessed partial derivatives
%% (useful in optimization if some parameters are not optimized, but
%% are 'fixed').
%%
%% hook.lbound, hook.ubound: vectors of lower and upper parameter
%% bounds (or -Inf or +Inf, respectively) to be respected in finite
%% differencing. The consistency of bounds is not checked.
