polyfit6: utility for fitting data on polynomials
input:  standardin
options: -l  (low: minimum error level /= 2)
         -u  (up:  minimum error level *= 2)
         -o# order of fit (#=0..9)
         -d# number of discriminators (#=0..4)
         -y# number of functions to be fitted (#=0..4)
         -fa fit all coefficients
         -fe fit only even coefficients (0,2,..)
         -fo fit only odd coefficients
         -fu1011..0..1 userdefine fit coefficients
         -h  this help
         -cd interprete all expressions starting with- in first
             line of data file as belonging to command line
         -p  print all parameters in output
         -w  unweighted fit (not impl.)
         -r  reduce order if not enough fitpoints
             or indicated in inputline by appending #ro
Options can be concatenated (with only one -) and evoced
in any order. 

format conventions:
input:  dis[1]..dis[d#], x, yerror, y[y#]..y[y#]

output: dis[1]..dis[d#], coeff[1][0]..coeff[1][o#]..coeff[y#][o#],
        confidence level, #fitpoints, sigcoeff[0]..sigcoeff[o#]
