People write whole books about this, and I think Tukey has at least
two procedures. S-PLUS manages to find about 8, as does Yandell's book. If
I had thought it was that easy I would have added it to aov, but I didn't
and still don't. Even specifying which comparisons are to be considered
is non-trivial, I believe.
