   At the moment if run on a dev version it will skip everything and the 
release tarball won't have the file so a cran source install via pak or so will 
also not run it. We could make everything outside of `make sync-cpp` explicitly 
opt in but why install a release version from gh instead of CRAN?

   Ah yes that sounds useful, so we want to change it to always vendor the cpp 
source (which also means that we probably want to use something other than 
`rsync` to do it?) and only do the other release stuff on release 
version/opt-in.
