You can always go directly to the binaries - the links are right on the front
page. The R script is just a convenience method to resolve dependencies if you
have complex requirements so you don't have to do it yourself. Besides, you can
always grab R from CRAN to bootstrap it if that's what you are going for.
If there is a way to improve the documentation to make it clearer, I'm open to
suggestions.

Well, in that case I don't understand why you did all the work of recompiling
it as that is then entirely unnecessary - all you needed to do was to simply
install it from CRAN with
install.packages("RQuantLib")
I'm sure I must be missing something here ...
