Check the pbapply package for cross-platform apply* parallelization. Also
'future' might be worth a look (by Henrik Bengtson) although I haven't taken a
closer look at it yet.

The question is why you want to make doMC an hard install time dependency.
Better make it optional (via Suggests) and provide different
parallelization mechanisms on platforms where doMC is unavailable.

well, it doesn't work on Windows, given that doMC isn't available. Trying
to hide that would seem weird. Does CRAN insist that all packages should
work on all platforms?

Hi everyone,
I'm preparing to release a package which uses doMC for parallelization in
certain functions. I've used require(doMC) to specify this for these functions,
and importFrom("doMC", "registerDoMC") in my NAMESPACE.
I ran all the R CMD --as-cran checks under 3.4.0 and R-devel on Debian
