Title: R Interface to the 'Protocol Buffers' 'API' (Version 2 or 3)
of its internal 'RPC' protocols and file formats.  Additional documentation
is available in two included vignettes one of which corresponds to our paper
in the Journal of Statistical Software (2016, v71i02). Either version 2 or 3
of the 'Protocol Buffers' 'API' is supported.
SystemRequirements: ProtoBuf libraries and compiler version 2.2.0 or
later; version 3.0.0 or later is supported as well. On
Debian/Ubuntu these can be installed as libprotoc-dev and
libprotobuf-dev, while on Fedora/CentOS protobuf-devel and
