mle

I'm very excited by the new mle package now incorporated in stats4.  If 
possible, I'd like to help develop it.  In the past I wrote a similar 
package (mleprof, available from http://www.zoo.ufl.edu/bolker/R/src), and 
would like to see if there's anything that my package does that I could 
contribute (in particular, I'd like to make sure that the code is as 
robust as possible in constructing profiles and finding confidence 
limits); I also have opinions about some of the defaults, and I can 
certainly help test it ...

  I don't know who the primary developer is beyond "R-core" ... if 
whoever's working on it would like to take me up on the offer, can you let 
me know?
