R help - Jan 2012 - ggExtra package installation fails

Hi dear all,

I cannot find ggExtra source code or install it by

install.packages("ggExtra",
repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")

I am really interested in one of the functions inside called
"align.plots",
but cannot find the package on-line.

Do I miss something? or is there any function similar to that I can easily
align multiple plots on the same x-axis on one page. which only align
panels. grid.arrange in gridExtra is an easy way to arrange multiple plots,
but it's kind of not what exactly I want,  there is a discussion of it on
stackoverflow.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5489250/specifying-ggplot2-panel-width

see the plots in the anwser, with unequal y label, align.plots still align
the plots well on the x.  In my real world example, it's not the case that
I can make it a simple facet, it's always alignment of multiple tracks. And
I don't really want to write my own hack function(and don't know how
yet)
to do that, if there is already a nice function for the same purpose~

Thanks~

Tengfei

Maybe the arrangeGrob() function from gridExtra?
