Perhaps my newly submitted package times out because no web browser is 
available on the build systems?

The build times out on linux and OS X at the “creating vignettes” stage. But 
since the package is a wrapper around igv.js running in the browser, no 
vignette, examples or unit tests are possible without a web browser to talk to.

Is this the right diagnosis?  If so, is there a remedy?  If not, I welcome 
suggestions of where to look.

P.S.  With the next devel build, BrowserViz - the underlying package providing 
message transport between R and the browser via websockets - should be 
available on Windows also.  So -if- browser support is missing on the build 
machines, and -if- it is reasonable to add it, then maybe we can reduce the 
maintenance burden by restricting vignette/examples/tests to one architecture.
