?spautolm

The examples reproduce the results in Waller & Gotway, perhaps apart from 
a flattish function to optimise in the weighted CAR case. spautolm() now 
provides weighted or unweighted SAR, CAR, and SMA. Sparse matrix methods 
are available for SAR and CAR, SAR when spatial weights are symmetric or 
similar to symmetric (CAR weights have to be symmetric).
