[FLR-list] ssb constraint with FLash

There are a couple of issues neither of which should cause a problem but 
may point to a bug somewhere.
The ple4 object differs from the one Clara is using as it start at age 0 
not age 1, plus it doesnt come from XSA so the F in the plusgroup is not 
the same as in plusgrpoup-1.
It looks like there is a bug in "[" i.e.

range(ple4[-1])
       min       max plusgroup   minyear   maxyear minfbar   maxfbar
         2        10        -1      1957      2008 2         6


The following code works as expected, it is a long winded way of 
constraining SSB. It points in a problem not in the estimation procedure 
(LU decomposition) but maybe how it is being set up.


plot(window(stk,start=2006))

stk=window(iter(MyObj,1),end=2008)
stk =fwdWindow(stk,eql,end=2010)

target <-fwdControl(data.frame(year  =c(2009,2009),
                              val     =c(.3,180000),
                              #min     =c(NA,180000),
                              quantity=c("f","ssb")))

stk.=fwd(stk,ctrl=target ,
              sr=eql)

fbar(stk.)[,ac(2009)]
An object of class "FLQuant"
, , unit = unique, season = all, area = unique

      year
age   2009
   all 0.21768

units:  f
 > ssb( stk.)[,ac(2009:2010)]
An object of class "FLQuant"
, , unit = unique, season = all, area = unique

      year
age   2009   2010
   all 227124 180000

units:  NA


Note that the SSS constraint refers to the SSB at the end of the year if 
harvest.spwn.

This included the STECF ones with numerous sequential constraints, on F, TAC, SSB etc. I have also implemented some simpler interfaces for fwd. I am currently redoing this see http://rscloud.iccat.int/Tutorials/MSE/hcr.pdf
