[ADMB Users] installing admb and bringing it into R

[Ian Taylor]

A minor addition to Ben's comment:

There are some brief notes on interacting with R here
http://admb-project.org/documentation/faq#software-interaction
including a link to a long list of a R tools for interacting with ADMB.

If anyone has suggestions for ways that the FAQ item should be expanded or
modified, please let me know.
