Your pre_install function has the following

  ## copy AUTHORS and README to inst (this makes them available
  ## in the installation directory for future reference)

The "right" way to do this would be to:

1) place the README file into a doc directory. Files there are preserved
2) rename AUTHORS to CITATION. This file will be preserved and can be
accessed in octave via "citation stk"
