[R] Nomograms from rms' fastbw output objects

[Frank Harrell]

Hi Rob,

fastbw does not try to produce a full fit object.  You have to re-run the
fit manually based on what you (sometimes dangerously) learn from fastbw. 
If I can find a way to add a 'formula' component to the fastbw result then
you could do something like lrm(fastbw(fit)$formula, ...).
