   Wrapper class to FCNBase interface used internally by Minuit.
   Apply conversion from calling the function from a Minuit Vector (MnAlgebraicVector) to a std::vector  for

   The class counts also the number of function calls. By default counter start from zero, but a different value
   might be given if the class is  instantiated later on, for example for a set of different minimizaitons
   Normally the derived class MnUserFCN should be instantiated with performs in addition the transformatiopn
