You could also describe your actual need on StackOverflow; IIRC the
terms and conditions explicitly say all code posted there can be treated
as public domain.

If someone gives you the same approach then perhaps there is only one
way to do it; if someone gives you a different way perhaps that will be
just as good.

P.S. This idea falls flat if someone just says take a look at the Rcpp
Makevars file ;-)
