Saves a list of metadata objects to a new setup file

saveSetup(
  name,
  author,
  mail,
  inst,
  cit = "Unpublished",
  objects,
  table,
  seedinfo = list(100, paste(R.version$major, R.version$minor, sep = "."), RNGkind()),
  metaseedinfo = list(100, paste(R.version$major, R.version$minor, sep = "."),
    RNGkind()),
  custom_funcs = NULL,
  custom_name = NULL
)

`name`	The name of the new setup (and thus also the filename)
`author`	Full name of the author
`mail`	Contact e-mail address of the author
`inst`	Institution of the author
`cit`	Reference to the publication where the setup was used, defaults to unpublished
`objects`	List of metadata objects
`table`	Info table for the setup
`seedinfo`	Random number generator parameters for the data sets
`metaseedinfo`	Random number generator parameters for the metadata
`custom_funcs`	Custom functions that are needed to generate the meta(data)
`custom_name`	Custom filename that deviates from the authorYear format

A .R file that can be processed by create.dataset

require(MASS)
a = new("metadata.metric", 
        clusters = list(c1 = list(n = 25, mu = c(4,5), Sigma=diag(1,2)),
                        c2 = list(n = 25, mu = c(-1,-2), Sigma=diag(1,2))),
                        genfunc = mvrnorm)
b = new("metadata.metric", 
        clusters = list(c1 = list(n = 44, mu = c(1,2), Sigma=diag(1,2)),
                        c2 = list(n = 66, mu = c(-5,-6), Sigma=diag(1,2))),
                        genfunc = mvrnorm)
