Just when I thought the list was generous enough... 

That's not a bad idea, Dan.  The issue I have with this solution is that 
each computer will access more than one repository, which means 
remembering to change the environment variable appropriately to access 
different locations.  I'm hoping for something even simpler.

The inlinedocs option for documenting and literate programming looks 
straight forward, though it requires a somewhat different prettyprinting 
aesthetic than any of us here are used to.  It'll be considered along with 
RoxygenN when we get there.

And as for the thermodynamics analogy, I agree.  I'm looking for Alan 
Kay's to help me hide complexity.

Enjoy the days,
