Title:                Gaussian linear models with linear covariance
                       structure

Description:          Functions to fit Gaussian linear model by
                       maximising the residual log likelihood where the
                       covariance structure can be written as a linear
                       combination of known matrices.  Can be used for
                       multivariate models and random effects models.
                       Easy straight forward manner to specify random
                       effects models, including random interactions.
