R devel - Sep 2019 - install_github and survival

I treat CRAN as the main repository for survival, but I have also had a github 
(therneau/survival) version for a couple of years.? It has a vignette2
directory, for
instance, that contains extra vignettes that either take too long to run or
depend on
other packages.? It also gets updated more often than CRAN (though those updates
mght not
be as well tested yet).

In any case, since it is there, people will of course run install_github against
it.??
I've added a config script to do the one extra step necessary, but when I
try
install_github it fails.?? I'm clearly doing something wrong.? If someone
were willing to
contribute a fix I would be most grateful.

survival3.1-0 is almost ready for CRAN, by the way.?? Reverse dependency checks
of hdnom
turned up one last thing to repair...

I just sent a PR that makes a few small changes to the package and
fixes the installation with `install_github()` (and also `R CMD
INSTALL`) and other ways of installing the package.
