Hi all,

I was wondering if there's a way to specify other metrics for the
method for the dist command other than the standard euclidean,
manhattan, canberra, etc.

Specifically, I'd to generate a distance matrix using the metrics from
information theory, e.g., KL-divergence or something similar to that
with log().

Thanks,
Vivek
