[R] Finding functions in uninstalled libraries

[Ben Bolker]

  Another possible solution: I wrote some functions to grab all of the
INDEX files from CRAN, structure their contents as a data frame, and
search within that list.

or available as part of my "bbmisc" package from

http://www.zoo.ufl.edu/bolker/R/{linux,windows}

  (Feedback is welcome, if anyone ever actually uses it.)
