    *   Salibian-Barrera for the provided code.
    *
    * R/CovMve.R, man/CovMve.Rd - now the raw cov matrix is properly scaled by

    *   (robust and classic) will have the same scale
    * man/getCenter-methods.Rd - there was an 'unmatched right brace' in line 34 -
    *   shown as 'Note' in "R CMD install" but not in "R CMD check"

    *   plot same scale
    * Added function Cov() as an alias to CovClassic() for compatibility with
    *   previous versions
    * Function and class Robpca changed to PcaHubert - Robpca was too general

    * package robustbase. Now package robustbase is required and these

    * incompatibilities because of changed parameters in covMcd(), like:
    *   - trace=FALSE instead of print.it=FALSE
    *   - seed=NULL instead of seed=0
    *   - changed structure and names of datasets

    * - simulated corrections used only when the Pison et.al.
    *   formula is definitely wrong (negative or very large)

    * Added the L-moments data sets from Hosking and Wallis (1997):
    *       Appalachia, Cascades, lmom32 and lmom33

    * Fixed print.mcd() to avoid conflict with package 'robust'
    *   (same class "mcd")

    * R/covMcd.R - the calculation of the consistency correction factor
    *   for the raw and reweighted MCD covariance replaced by a call to
    *   a function MCDcons()

    *   method of CovRobust in case of singular covariance matrix
