best practices query: non-emacs packages based on tangled source

[Greg Minshall]

hi.  i apologize if this has been asked before (especially if by me).
but, since i had a question recently about Org Src... buffers, this came
up.

i'm wondering what people do who want to release a non-emacs'y package
(an R package, say, or ...), and who did their development "from within"
a .org file.

i can "build" whatever files are needed to release the package.  but,
it's nice to be able to let people look at the sources, maybe submit
'pull requests', etc.

if anyone has any techniques they've used, liked (or hated), i'd love to
hear.

thank you very much, Greg
