Currently, the project is only used internally at my department and 
still under heavy construction. In particular, I am just about to start 
working on the R-interface. If everything works as expected, however, we 
might work towards publishing the project.

On the contrary, I suppose that should make it easier, since R errors do 
not interfere with C++ exceptions.

The project relies on several mathematical C++ libraries.

Thank you, I will have a look at the vignette.

Dirk's answer is very helpful and actually quite exhaustive.

Best regards,
