Right. 

And for the opencpu server deployment, you may want to edit the -g out
/etc/R/Makeconf as well. As I recall, there was an r-devel thread in which
the desire to override such 'earlier' settings in what R CMD ... uses via
later settings, and as I recall Simon stated that it couldn not be done.

Do you think we should move fastLm out?
