I will try uploading the package to CRAN at some point, but I think I'll
use it myself for a bit to see whether it has any other nasties. If
anyone wants to try it in the meantime you can get it at

Two users report that it installs OK in MacOSX: many thanks.
Two users report that it doesn't build on Windows. Brian Ripley provided fixes
for this. I have incorporated these and bumped the package version to 1.7.1.
(I'm afraid I don't know much about building R packages with compiled code on
Windows: I am grateful for any help that others can provide on this.)
As the link I gave was rather buried in a long web page I have moved it to a
shorter one that contains only relevant information:
