Much of it is.  The original version, say R version 0.01, may
have been based on some reference, but we have added quite a few extra tweaks,
where in my case I sat down with a piece of paper, considered
and transformed some inequalities and also did computer
experiments additionally. 
I've even started to make more coherent notes eventually, but
not electronically, and hence no tech.report /  publication / ...

 { Did you really want to know this :-) }

Regards,
Martin
