NOTES

Technical notes:

The R source package can be built from the working copy with the "R CMD build ." command.
To build a binary package, use "R CMD build --binary ." command.

When working on Windows, the same command will work, but the Rtools package 
needs to be installed and all its bin/ dirs (bin/, perl/bin, MinGW/bin) as
well as R/bin dir should be in the PATH.

The working copy MUST be checked out with LF line endings (otherwise the vci
files for sample vec files will be invalid!). To ensure that, set 
"core.autocrlf=false" in the git repo (then make sure takes effect by
deleting the working copy and checking it out again)
