[R] package loading smooth.lf (LOCFIT), couldn't find functio n "smooth.lf"

[Liaw, Andy]

The version of locfit on the web site mentioned apparently has been revised
by Prof. Loader, and is newer than the CRAN version that I have been
maintaining.  If Prof. Loader is OK with it, I will take a look and see if I
can get the new version into CRAN-conforming form and upload to CRAN.

Meanwhile, make sure you're using the package from Prof. Loader's web page,
instead of the one on CRAN, if you want the new features.
