[R-SIG-Mac] Any script to package a built R binary to a Mac OS X installer?

Thank you, both of them, for the help! That is what I needed.  I think that this time, the email is just a plain text. I'm sorry for having sent HTML text.

Thank you,

If so, where could I find it?  I'm new to either building R from scratch or packaging a Mac installation.  When I was reading "R for Mac OS X Developer's Page" at http://r.research.att.com/, I thought that there must be some scripts for packaging to create an installation file, such as R-2.14-branch-leopard.pkg in the web site at http://r.research.att.com/.  I could not find any of such script or helpful information.

Also please make clear that whatever you are distributing is likely not compatible with CRAN R (unless you actually run all the CRAN scripts like "universal").
