[R] package for repeated measures ANOVA with various link functions

[John Sorkin]

R 2.6.0
Windows XP

At the risk of raising the ire of the R gods . . .
I am looking for a package that will allow me to perform a poisson, quasipoisson, or negative binomial regression with adjustment for repeated measures. I have looked at glm, it does not appear to allow repeated measures. Although I can't get any help for lme or lme4 I remember that those packages perform repeated measures using random effects, not repeated measures ANOVA which is what I am looking for. (By the why, how can I get help for lme4? I have tried ?lme4, help.search("lme4") etc. to no avail.)
A suggestion for a package that will allow for repeated measures ANOVA in the context of various link functions would be appreciated.
Thanks as always,
John
