Thanks for the offer.  The ones I am after just now are:

pcaMethods
bitseq

I think these will fail to build due to missing dependencies or similar.
That's fine, I can fix the builds and package up dependencies.  I'm just
after the auto-generated control/rules/copyright/etc. so I don't have to
write these from scratch.

And if you want me to contribute back then just let me know how you
prefer me to do that.

Cheers,

TIM
