R packages - Nov 2009 - mvbutils and debug: new versions

New versions of the 'mvbutils' and 'debug' packages are now
available on CRAN. These should work with R 2.10 as well as R 2.9.

'mvbutils' offers tools for organization of workspaces,
function/documentation editing with backups, package construction and updating,
seamless per-object lazy-loading, and various miscellaneous goodies.

New in this version: nearly-automated package building using only plain-text
documentation, plus the ability to edit & update your package while it's
loaded, i.e. without needing to reinstall it or to quit R. These new features
are "beta level"; they've been tested by me and some colleagues,
but are still a bit experimental. Comments welcome.

'debug' is a debugger with: separate code windows; line-numbered
conditional breakpoints; continuation on errors; direct interpretation of
commands from console; skipping backwards & forwards; handling of
'on.exit'. This version fixes a few minor bugs.
