[R] aov or lme effect size calculation

[Doran, Harold]

Greg

Upgrade your packages to the supported versions (lme4 and Matrix), and
use lmer and not lme.

### Example
> example(lmer)
> anova(fm1)
Analysis of Variance Table
     Df Sum Sq Mean Sq F value
Days  1  30032   30032  45.854

Your method for eta-squared with a mixed model is another story,
however.
