  Move misc/gretl to math/gretl; add secondary category of finance
  
          gretl is used in the mathematical analysis of time series,
          and has a functionality that is similar to various statistical
          and signal processing components of it++, octave, scilab,
          R, numpy/scipy, etc. -- most of which are in the math
          category.  It should really be placed there, rather than
          in misc.  In recognition of the fact that it implements
          some methods that are commonly (but not exclusively!) used
          in econometrics, it should also be given a secondary listing
          in finance.  (In my opinion, however, it shouldn't be given
          a primary listing in that category, because most of the
          ports there deal with the nuts-and-bolts of accounting,
          payment methods, taxes, and stock tracking.  To my knowledge,
          the only ports now in finance that remotely resemble gretl
          are quantlib, xtrader, and qtstalker, all of which employ
          simpler methods that are more specific to financial time
          series than are the more general methods in gretl.
