[R] missing values and gam (was: how to handle missing values)

[Simon Wood]

mgcv 0.9 will handle missing values properly (provided you are happy that 
dropping them is 'proper'). There is a pre-release version at:

www.stats.gla.ac.uk/~simon/simon/mgcv.html

(it is a pre-release version, so there will be bugs, reports of which
gratefully received!)
