Not a solution, but a possible workaround would be to put the package onto
r-forge <http://r-forge.r-project.org> , from which users could install the
package directly
(install.packages(xxx,repos="http://r-forge.r-project.org")).  r-forge also
automatically builds binary versions of packages, etc..
