Generalized additive model set up

Description:

     This is an internal function of package 'mgcv'. It is called  by
     'gam' to obtain the design matrix and penalty matrices for a GAM
     set up using penalized regression splines. This is done by calling
     a mixture of R routines and compiled C code.  For further
     information on usuage see code for 'gam'.
