[R] simtest for Dunnett's test

[Liaw, Andy]

Before you do any of that, you should realize the fact that simtest does
_not_ do Dunnett's test:  It can use `Dunnett' _contrasts_ to do comparisons
with a control, but the actual procedure is different.  You are unlikely to
get the same result as other packages that perform standard Dunnett's test
(or Tukey's, for that matter).
