makeOptmatch

This internal function is used to create the final output of the matching
functions (<code>fullmatch</code> and <code>pairmatch</code>). The
<code>optmatch</code> object descends from a <code>factor</code>, but contains additional
information relating to the quality of the match.

internal

Distance based bipartite matching using minimum cost flow, oriented
to matching of treatment and control groups in observational studies ('Hansen'
and 'Klopfer' 2006 <doi:10.1198/106186006X137047>). Routines are provided to
generate distances from generalised linear models (propensity score
matching), formulas giving variables on which to limit matched distances,
stratified or exact matching directives, or calipers, alone or in
combination.
