The canonical form [1] of an R package Makefile includes the
following:
- The first stanza includes R_PKGNAME, R_PKGVER, PKGREVISION (as
needed), and CATEGORIES.
- HOMEPAGE is not present but defined in math/R/Makefile.extension to
refer to the CRAN web page describing the package. Other relevant
web pages are often linked from there via the URL field.
This updates all current R packages to this form, which will make
regular updates _much_ easier, especially using pkgtools/R2pkg.

Each R package should include ../../math/R/Makefile.extension, which also
defines MASTER_SITES. Consequently, it is redundant for the individual
packages to do the same. Package-specific definitions also prevent
redefining MASTER_SITES in a single common place.
File too long (should be no more than 24 lines).
Line too long (should be no more than 80 characters).
Trailing empty lines.
Trailing white-space.
Trucated the long files as best as possible while preserving the most info
contained in them.
Release 1.6 (2006-06-19) adds various bug fixes, plus support for making
dimensions WITHOUT dimvars (coordinate variables), although I think this
is a bad idea in general. ALSO, the default behavior for put.var.ncdf
with unlimited variables and NO specified start and count parameters has
changed! Before, the default was to append to the end of the existing
variable. Now, the default is to assume a start of 1 along each
dimension, and a count of the current length of each dimension. This
really can be ambiguous when using an unlimited dimension. I always
specify both start and count when writing to a variable with an
unlimited dimension, and suggest you do as well. I make require this in
a future release, as it seems to cause people problems.
