[R-sig-ME] MCMCglmm for binomial models? -- updated to use rcppbugs

Hi, Whit:

I don't have the thread going back to the ancient times (:)), so I
can't tell what the point of this might be.  I wonder "what the hell
is he talking about?" and "why would I want a package called rcppbugs
if the project he describes doesn't have any C++ in it?"

I tried to install rcppbugs on Debian, but ended in failure,  so
obviously I'm missing some devel headers*.  While I track back to find
out WTF on that, how about you post an explanation of why rcppbugs is
worth the effort in the first place?
