Actually, now that I think of it, it might make sense to factor things 
out of the main R package and make another one for examples and another 
one for testing. So that we'd have :

RemoteREngine : the actual thing
RemoteREngine.test: test ng test suite
RemoteREngine.examples: examples

I'll start setting things up for the examples one.
