[R] conditional sum two dataframes

[Bert Gunter]

The values need not be a data frame as the number of unique months
could be different among the columns, right?. So you're going to have
to rethink your data structure. Probably as a list.

Once you get that straight,?tapply and friends should make it trivial,
if I understand you correctly.
