Thank you! I see the typo in the comment (line 690 of library.R) has now been
corrected. .check_package_description() and "Writing R Extensions" both
clearly and consistently state that `Package', `Version', `License',
`Description', `Title', `Author', and `Maintainer' fields are mandatory, so I
have added these to the packages (DDP's) that g.data creates.
g.data_1.5.tar.gz is now available on CRAN.
Maybe someday I'll do a major re-write to use lazy loading, but not today...
