st: Update to mkcorr

[Glenn Hoetker <Glenn.Hoetker@asu.edu>]

Thanks as always to Kit Baum, an "update" of the mkcorr package, which produces tables of descriptive statistics and correlations in a format that is easy to import into a spreadsheet or word processing document, is now available on the SSC Archive.  The only difference between version 2.0.0 and the new version 2.0.1 is updated contact information reflecting my change of employer (albeit 2.5 years late).

A description of mkcorr follows below. At some point, I intend to update it to take advantage of new Stata features like "putexcel", but for now, it seems to work just fine.

-------

mkcorr produces a correlation table in a format that is easy to import into a spreadsheet or word processing document. In this, it is inspired by the indispensable mktab and outreg commands. By writing the output directly to a logfile, it avoids two problems with taking correlation tables from the results window. First, it allows an effectively unlimited number of variables without wrapping around. Second, it requires less post-processing in a spreadsheet or word-processor, particularly for more involved tables.  It also offers a  number of small advantages such as allowing the use of labels, controlling the number of decimal places used, and other formatting options.
