     This is an internal function of package 'mgcv'. It is called  by
     'gamm' to set up a generalized additive mixed model in a form
     suitable for fitting by calls to  'glmmPQL' from the 'MASS'
     library or 'lme' from the 'nlme' library. The main task is the
     representation of the smooth terms as random effects.
