Ah, good point; I've used it in the past and maybe is the solution for 
Rgputools, too!

Luckily, with a versioned repo we have this nice feature; I'll see what I can

I recall reading somewhere that github is not meant for above 1GB unless you 
ask permission etc.
The compilers already would exceed that or simply make it too clumsy.
For smaller bits though it might fly (but I still think of it, honestly, with a

innocent, though :-)
