Patch to qp() to support extra arg specifying maximum iterations

[Joshua Redstone]

I attached a diff of a followon changeset that adds a few tests to qp.m to
exercise the maxit argument.
I actually don't understand qp.m internals so the examples are pretty
contrived.
Also, I have mercurial 1.0.1 and I couldn't figure out how to generate a
single 'export' style patch that included both changesets.
