R-alpha: CRAN source/contrib

[Kurt Hornik]

I've put all ``current'' add-on packages into CRAN's source/contrib tree
and created an INDEX file (attached below).  As you can see, currently
we have

  acepack
  bootstrap
  ctest
  date
  e1071
  fracdiff
  gee
  jpn
  snns
  splines
  survival4

(Yes, e1071 and jpn are new ... more on the latter in a later mail.)

In the near future, I am hoping for the following:

  oz		(Bill Venables said should work without problems ...)
  polynom	(Has been used as a test bed for the new group methods
		 in R 0.50, so should only be a matter of packaging.
	         Or were there some changes?)
  wavethresh	(According to A. Kovac, worked under 0.12.  Thought I'd
                 ask the guy for an official port.)
  time.series	(Paul Gilbert promised an official release following the
		 release of R 0.50)

Fritz (and I) have also started to port the `clus' software which was
recently documented in an article in Journal of Statistical Software.

Also, Doug's nonlin seems to compute fine after one change, but the
output needs help.  Is this still useful, or do we have something better
for fitting nonlinear models?

As you can see from the list, we're not doing too bad ...
