I am upstream for littler as well.  Initially the package was more
'complicated' but this changed fundamentally when I reorganised it as a CRAN
package so I should be able to simplify to a standard CRAN package build,
plus installation as /usr/bin/r and the manpage.

Can you be more specific?  This is still a 'special' package in the sense
that a binary is produced which is uncommon for a CRAN package: these usually
contain a package for R with or without a shared library part.

Best, Dirk
