[R-pkgs] release 2.4 of distr-family of packages on CRAN

[Peter Ruckdeschel]

New versions 2.4 of our distr-family of packages are submitted to
CRAN and will soon be available on all mirrors

(i.e.; startupmsg, SweaveListingUtils, distr, distrEx, distrDoc,
distrEllipse, distrMod, distrSim, distrTEst, distrTeach)

In addition, there is a new package distrRmetrics with distr support
for (some) distributions provided in the Rmetrics family of packages.

For more details see the corresponding NEWS files in the pkgs, e.g.
news(package = "distr") or NEWS("distr") [the latter using fct NEWS
from pkg startupmsg].

We are looking forward to getting your RFEs, bug reports
or simple feedback,

Best, Peter and coauthors (CC).
