Title: L-moments, Trimmed L-moments, L-comoments, and Many Distributions
Description: The package implements the statistical theory of L-moments including
L-moment estimation, probability-weighted moment estimation, parameter estimation
for numerous familiar and not-so-familiar distributions, and L-moment estimation
for the same distributions from the parameters. L-moments are derived from the
expectations of order statistics and are linear with respect to the probability-
weighted moments. L-moments are directly analogous to the well-known product
moments; however, L-moments have many advantages including unbiasedness,
robustness, and consistency with respect to the product moments. This package
is oriented around the FORTRAN algorithms of J.R.M. Hosking, and the
nomenclature for many of the functions parallels that of the Hosking library.
However, numerous extensions are made to aid in expand of the breadth and ease
of L-moment application. Much theoretical extension of L-moment theory has
occurred in recent years. E.A.H. Elamir and A.H. Seheult have developed the
trimmed L-moments, which are implemented in this package. Further, recent
developments by Robert Serfling and Peng Xiao have extended L-moments into
multivariate space; the so-called sample L-comoments are implemented here. The
supported distributions with moment type shown as L (L-moments) or TL (trimmed
L-moments) and additional support for right-tail censoring ([RC]) include:
Cauchy(TL), Exponential(L), Gamma(L), Generalized Extreme Value(L),
Generalized Lambda(L & TL), Generalized Logistic (L), Generalized Normal(L),
Generalized Pareto(L[RC] & TL), Gumbel(L), Normal(L), Kappa(L),
Pearson Type III(L), Reverse Gumbel(L[RC]), Wakeby(L), and Weibull(L).

Title: Bent-Cable Regression for Independent Data or Autoregressive Time Series
Description:
This package contains two main interfaces for fitting
and diagnosing bent-cable regressions for autoregressive
time-series data or independent data (time series or
otherwise). The interfaces are 'bentcable.ar()' and
'bentcable.dev.plot()'. Some components in the package can
also be used as stand-alone functions. The bent cable
(linear-quadratic-linear) generalizes the broken stick
(linear-linear), which is also handled by this package.

I had taken one shortcut in relying on the assumption that I would get unique
package names from available.packages(), and that seemingly was
not the case. I added another lookup in the sql backend to the script: for
every possible new package, we explicitly test whether the package and
version combination exists or not. This will prevent the 'cairoDevice package
loop' from showing a few more iterations. Sorry for the useless entries, but
we should be back in good service now.
