[R] Using boot.ci to find lower confident bound

[Prof Brian Ripley]

I think the question was 'how do I get one-sided confidence limits from 
package boot?'   As far as I know you would have to rewrite the code to do 
so, and this looks pretty simple.

Simon is right to point out that you need to understand the methods: some 
of these methods are much worse for one-sided limits, especially the 
so-called 'basic' method.
