[R-sig-ME] lme4

[Ben Bolker]

   If this is a general problem, it would not be too hard to 'demote' 
statmod to a "suggested" package; we use it *only* for the rinvgauss() 
function, for simulating inverse Gaussian deviates (should anyone want 
to do that).

   I may do this anyway, but if you need a short-term solution you could 
download the source file, unpack it, edit the DESCRIPTION file to remove 
'statsmod' from Imports:, and install from the directory (this wouldn't 
pass R CMD check but I think it would install just fine).

   cheers
    Ben Bolker
