[R-sig-ME] lmer book draft

[Rob Goedman]

Douglas,

After my previous message I figured out how to work around the compile issue and 
have been able to get all 4 test scripts (for chapters 1, 2, 4 and 5) to work on MacOS
SnowLeopard using 64 bit R.2.11 (but I think the same fix might also work on R.2.10,
on Leopard and for 32 bit). It also required a later version of the Matrix package
(available on R-forge).

If someone needs help, they can just send me an email. It requires a temporary (just
to install lme4a) change to a system file (alloca.h). I'm sure its not the final solution, but
it seems to work for now.

Regards,
Rob
