[Rd] make fails on R r50499 ( openSuSE 11.0 x86-64)

[Prof Brian Ripley]

What has happened is that mgcv now depends on Matrix, but the author 
hasn't told us that.  Add to the line in 
src/library/Recommended/Makefile.in so it becomes

mgcv.ts: nlme.ts MASS.ts Matrix.ts

and it should work.

The tarballs will catch up in due course.
