/** This class is the essential build block for performing structural optimization.
 *
 * Sadly, we have to use some static instances as so far values cannot be passed
 * between actions. Hence, we need to store the current step and the adaptive-
 * step width (we cannot perform a line search, as we have no control over the
 * calculation of the forces).
 *
 * However, we do use the bond graph, i.e. if a single atom needs to be shifted
 * to the left, then the whole molecule left of it is shifted, too. This is
 * controlled by the \a max_distance parameter.
