_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This method function pre-multiples the '"Xy"' component of
     'conLin' by the transpose square-root factor(s) of the correlation
     matrix (matrices) associated with 'object' and adds the
     log-likelihood contribution of 'object', given by
     'logLik(object)', to the '"logLik"' component of 'conLin'.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ## S3 method for class 'corStruct':
     recalc(object, conLin, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: an object inheriting from class 'corStruct', representing a
          correlation structure.

  conLin: a condensed linear model object, consisting of a list with
          components '"Xy"', corresponding to a regression matrix ('X')
          combined with a response vector ('y'), and '"logLik"',
          corresponding to the log-likelihood of the underlying model.

     ...: some methods for this generic require additional arguments. 
          None are used in this method.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     the recalculated condensed linear model object.

_N_o_t_e:

     This method function is only used inside model fitting functions,
     such as 'lme' and 'gls', that allow correlated error terms.
