     Call this function to register the R Goose with a Gaggle Boss. If
     you do not specify an argument, the function will automatically
     start the Gaggle Boss for you if it is not already running. If you
     do specify an argument (a remote machine on which a boss is
     running), the boss must be running on that machine or this
     function will fail. By default, this function looks for, and
     registers with, a boss on your current computer ('localhost').  
     Alternatively, you may supply the name of another computer where a
     boss is running. This is useful if you wish to run R on a remote
     compute  server (perhaps with extra memory and speed), and connect
     it  to a gaggle running on your desktop.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     gaggleInit (bossHost = 'localhost')

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     Returns NULL.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:
