Version 1.20, 2/18/2011:
Major changes:
Enabled est.map to use multiple processors via snow; added argument
n.cluster to indicate the number of cluster nodes to use.
Added the option stepwidth="max" in calc.genoprob, sim.geno, and
argmax.geno. This inserts the minimal number of pseudomarkers so
that the maximum step between points is as indicated by the "step"
argument.
