[Phylobase-devl] phylobase question

[Ben Bolker]

  The quick answer is ... "sort of".  We do intend to put phylobase
on CRAN soon -- we need to sort out some issues with building the
nexus-reading library part of it on 64-bit linux machines.  I think
the functions are pretty stable ...

  cheers
   Ben
