[Rcpp-devel] RcppEigen needs 1GB memory to compile

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

Could I suggest taking all of this example code and move it into something
like RcppExample or RcppTesting, which RcppXX could suggest and use for
testing.  This will have the benefit of having a testing package that also
does the outside package linking.  If this is done as a split of the basic
package into a core package and a testing package, I don't see why this
would be a problem with JSS.  This would essentially just be refactoring of
code.
