Quick shot from the hip:  Rcpp now has a new helper function you can use in
R/zzz.R, see e.g. the full example in the unitTests:

   NAMESPACE <- environment()

   .onLoad <- function(libname, pkgname){
       loadRcppModules()
   }

Maybe peeking at that (working) example, its NAMESPACE and DESCRIPTION file
etc will be a clue?

(That one is pretty old though.)

Good idea!  Try reducing the problem or building up from a working example.
