The real obstacle would seem to be the distribution of the many-one
t-statistic. This doesn't seem to be available from any of the
standard subroutine sources (apstat and toms). Miller's book cites the
tables from a 1964 paper by Dunnett - I browsed through it earlier
today and it seemed that the density can be calculated explicitly, but
you need numerical integration to get the CDF. Anyone have a handful
of spare evenings to code this up?
