[R-meta] Forest plot with subplots

[Michael Dewey]

Dear Roberto

Generating customisable graphics functions is very hard and not 
surprisingly there are a number of different packages (listed in the 
CRAN Task View) including some with the range of meta-analysis functions 
(like meta and metafor) and some stand alone ones (like forestmodel and 
forestplot). So if one does not do exactly what you want you may need to 
try another.
