  If I understand what you want to do correctly, this is probably not
something you want to mess with -- the computational details of
implementing mixed model fitting are tricky. If you do need a "custom"
mixed model, implementing them in AD Model Builder or WinBUGS will
probably be your best bet (there are R interfaces to both of these
programs).
