[R] R Toolbox (Release 2 of 2016-07-21)

[G.Maubach at weinwolf.de]

Hi All,

I have uploaded a new release of the R Toolbox.

R Toolbox is a collection of simple but useful functions which I developed 
for myself to shorten the develoment process. Currently all functions use 
base R. No other packages are needed. One exception is "t_openxlsx" cause 
this module deals explicitly with the openxlsx package.

It is simple to install the functions. Just copy them to an appropriety 
place on your hard disk and adjust the variable "t_toolbox_location" to 
the place you stored the toolbox in. Running "r_toolbox.R" from that 
location will load all modules.

In addition to new functions (see Release Comparison below) some functions 
were improved. The are called with their package names, e. g. 
openxlsx::read.xlsx() instead of "read.xlsx()". This way confusion with 
functions having the same name but comming from other packages is avoided.

Pleae be aware that I have include some not tested function in this 
release. All modules have a variable "t_status" now, stating the 
development status, e. g. "development", "testing", "release". 

Here is a Releae Comparison:
