[R] Optimal knot locations for splines

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, Mike: 

      Thanks for the bug report.  Attached please find a version of 
'curfit.free.knot' that will now fit splines of degree other than 3.  
This will appear in the next official release of DierckxSpline.  Until 
then, you can use the attached.  (It still has known bugs, but with luck 
they won't affect you.) 

      Hope this helps.
