[Rd] P-value printing in print.summary.lm

[Setzer.Woodrow@epamail.epa.gov]

The P-value for the overall F-statistic is being printed with formatC in
print.summary.lm (at least in R-1.2.3).  This results in P-values of 0,
which I suppose is practically unimportant, but logically offensive.
format.pval() gets around this (indeed, its help page says it was written
for print.summary.lm, though it is not explicitly called there, just in
print.coefmat!).  I'd suggest the following patch to lm.R:

337c337
<           formatC(1 - pf(x$fstatistic[1], x$fstatistic[2],
---
>           format.pval(1 - pf(x$fstatistic[1], x$fstatistic[2],
