[R] controlling lattice plot ticks with relation="free"

I had an off list reply that was very helpful, suggesting the use of 
panel.axis.   For posterity, here's my own answer to my problem, using 
yscale.component. It's not a particularly natural solution, and it 
requires manually increasing the horizontal spacing between plots (with 
the between agrument), but it works.

myyscale.component <- function(...)
{
  ans <- yscale.components.default(...)
  ans$right <- ans$left
  ans$right$labels$labels <- NULL
  ans
} 

histogram(~height|voice.part, data=singer, 
   scales=list(y=list(relation="free")),
   yscale.component=myyscale.component,
   between=list(x=.5))

Richie.
