[R] define a new family (and a new link function) for gam in gam package

[Corrado]

Dear Simon,

I want  a simple generalised additive model for regression which I can 
customise (force /define a certain basis, certain order for the splines, knots 
vector, generating new link functions, and force the regression through 0,0).

What do you suggest?
