// Compilation

This package (along with Scythe) uses C++ and the Standard Template
Library (STL).  We suggest using of the GCC compiler 4.0 or greater.  The
current package has been tested on GCC 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 4.0 on Linux
and MacOS X. 

We have also successfully compiled this package for Windows using a
MinGW cross-compiler using the setup described by Yan and Rossini
(2006).  Many thanks to Dan Pemstein for helping with the
cross-compilation, and to Kurt Hornik and Fritz Leisch for their help
with debugging as well as their service to the R community.
