Thanks Martin and thanks to Roger, Gabor and Prof. Ripley for taking the 
time to review and commit the patches.

Also note that patches were included to add "quarter[s]" as a defined 
break interval to cut.Date() and cut.POSIXt() and that these patches 
were also made to hist.Date() and hist.POSIXt() so that those functions 
support the new break intervals as well.

The help files for these have also been updated.

Lastly, a patch was added to tests/reg-tests-1.R for the original issue 
raised by Gabor.

Thanks again to everyone.

Regards,

Marc
