[R] Hmisc latex cell background color

[David Whiting]

Hi Dieter,

The nearest I got to was to be able to colour row. Take a look at Table
10 here:

http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/twiki/pub/Main/StatReport/latexFineControl.pdf

I used the latex package colotbl (see the definition of \shadeRow in
section 1). I didn't play any further with this. It might be possible
that colortbl has further commands ora mechanism for colouring
individual cells.
