[R] Conflicts using Rcmdr, nlme and lme4

[CG Pettersson]

Thanks a lot, both to Prof Bates and Prof Fox.
I see at least some bits of the light now.

One original question remaines though:
Why do all these (22 of them) packages autoload in the first place?
I don´t want them to.

It must have something to do with the original loading from Rcmdr, as
(for example) nlme does *not* autoload by itself no matter how many
lme objects there are in a reopened workspace, this is good as far as
I am concerned. It is especially strange as Rcmdr itself does not 
outoload.

How do I supress this behavior?

Thanks
