4220	Improve logging of homotopy-based initialization (-ils)	Francesco Casella	Lennart Ochel	"The current implementation of the homotopy-based initialization produces the following log, when turning on {{{LOG_NLS}}}:
{{{
LOG_INIT          | info    | homotopy process
...
LOG_INIT          | info    | | lambda = 0 done
...
LOG_INIT          | info    | | lambda = 0.1 done
...
...
LOG_INIT          | info    | | lambda = 1 done
}}}

IMHO this is a bit confusing, and also a bit awkward to search for in huge log files. I would propose to change the logging to get the following output

{{{
LOG_INIT          | info    | homotopy process
LOG_INIT          | info    | ---------------------------
LOG_INIT          | info    | | homotopy parameter lambda = 0
...
LOG_INIT          | info    | | homotopy parameter lambda = 0 done
LOG_INIT          | info    | ---------------------------
LOG_INIT          | info    | | homotopy parameter lambda = 0.1
...
LOG_INIT          | info    | | homotopy parameter lambda = 0.1 done
LOG_INIT          | info    | ---------------------------
...
...
LOG_INIT          | info    | | homotopy parameter lambda = 1 done
}}}

This would make the debug log much easier to search and interpret.
