flexord: Flexible Clustering of Ordinal and Mixed-with-Ordinal Data

Extends the capabilities for flexible partitioning and model-based clustering available in the packages 'flexclust' and 'flexmix' to handle ordinal and mixed-with-ordinal data types via new distance, centroid and driver functions that make various assumptions regarding ordinality. Using them within the flex-scheme allows for easy comparisons across methods.
