[R] Generalized Lambda

[Michaell Taylor]

Anyone know of a package for numerically estimating lambda(3) and lambda(4) 
using location, position, skew and kurtosis estimates.  I have a distribution 
and would like to use the gld package to do some simulations of the 
distribution, but need the lambda estimates to feed into gld.

I have a program in Maple, which I may convert to C code for use in R, but 
before moving down that road I wanted to make sure there wasn't a package out 
there somewhere.
