Performs distance sampling simulations. It repeatedly
generates instances of a user defined population within a given survey
region, generates realisations of a survey design (currently these must
be pregenerated using Distance software <http://distancesampling.org/>) and
simulates the detection process. The data are then analysed
so that the results can be compared for accuracy and precision
across all replications. This will allow users to select survey
designs which will give them the best accuracy and precision
given their expectations about population distribution. Any uncertainty in
population distribution or population parameters can be included by running
the different survey designs for a number of different population
descriptions. An example simulation can be found in the help file
for make.simulation.
