I guess I didn't see that this should only be about packages. It seems 
you could put just about anything in the HTML page. A table like

    Matlab    R translation
    -------    ------------
     eye(n)      diag(1,n)
       =            <-
  etc

might be useful to a lot of people converting from Matlab. I may have 
the above wrong, but I do have a good start on a table like this in a 
sed script somewhere, so if anyone volunteers to be the maintainer I can 
help a bit.

Paul
