Sorry, I didn't realize you weren't executing that file.  (Should it be 
included in the tar?  That's a different issue...)

Lazy data is stored in a separate file that is loaded when 
library(munsell) is called.  It appears it isn't being loaded when you 
only use munsell::mnsl to load it but not attach it.  Certainly loading 
it from one of your .R files would work; I'm not sure if it is 
intentional that this is necessary or not.  Perhaps someone else will 
comment?
