[Rd] Announce: exact Distributions

[Torsten Hothorn]

Hi,

I just uploaded the package exactDistr to the CRAN devel section (Fritz will
add it tomorrow, I think). ExactDistr implements the
Streitberg/Roehmel shift-algorithm for the exact distributions of
permutation- and rank tests. This is done in R (just a few lines of code)
and is IMO fast enough for m,n < 50. I added the  usual [dpq]perm
functions and an example how to track the exact distribution of the
Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test (especially with ties).

I would like to ask the experts to have a look at this algorithm, maybe we
can add exact p-values etc. to the rank tests in R without adapting the
network algorithm this way.

The weather is beautiful here, so I will stop hacking right now.
If it is raining somewhere:
