No sweat.

Exactly -- it would scale so bloody well. If just a handful of the hundreds
of people who would be using this helped a little, we could pull this. If
you have any interest, and know a little Perl, feel free to join the
effort. You'd need to register at alioth.debian.org which is open to
non-Debian developers too.

| For example:
|
| source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R";)
| biocLite()
|

Well, that is BioC code so I'd ask on that list/

I'd restrict it to the subset of directories in /usr/local/lib/R/site-library
that carry the same timestamp of when you installed.
Cheers, Dirk
