[ADMB Users] new version of R2admb on R-forge

[John Sibert]

The warning about the -s is caused by a change to the admb script making 
the "safe" option the default. So you do not need to specify -s to 
invoke the safe library. You need to use admb -o to build your 
application with the "optimized" (meaning no subscript checking mostly) 
library. I have no idea how to change the option in Ben's package.
