I believe in the dictatorial approach-- your vision, you decide.

Diff -u looked at your answer to Hadley's question and suggests 
the following changes to Rcpp-FAQ.Rnw:

+Alternately, one can work directly with the package structure. 
Changes to \proglange{C++} code can be compiled and tested from 
the command line via:

+The second command calls 'r' (littler), not 'R'. Littler is an 
alternative front end to GNU R designed for '#!' (hashbang) 
scripting. It has fast start-up times and gives a guaranteed clean 
slate. The -l option calls 'library(mypkg)' before executing the 
\proglang{R} expression. Littler is available via most Linux 
distribution's package management systems. The project homepage is
