We are working on the package. Most of the problems should be fixed in 
the coming 1-2 weeks (so that it can at least install). That's why the 
package is still on R-forge and not on e.g. CRAN. Yesterday evening I 
was running Rcmd check on the source code few times and there are still 
some small difficulties.

I also noticed that they are experiencing some difficulties (to much 
activities on R-forge!). We absolutely need R-forge so I hope they will 
fix these soon.
